Doris was a very social person who loved her regular outings, be it quilting on Monday afternoons with the Ladies of The Lake, going to shuffleboard in Morpeth on Wednesdays and attending Emmanuel Congregational Church in Ridgetown on Sundays. In her “spare time” she enjoyed gardening, curling and playing cards. In days gone by, she and Everett enjoyed cruising on their Goldwing motorcycle and camping. Friends and family are invited to gather at the Blenheim Community Funeral Home on Sunday September 8^th from 2 – 4 & 7 – 9 p.m. to show their respects to Doris’ family. A Funeral Service will be held in the Emmanuel Congregational Church, Ridgetown on Monday September 9, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. Interment will follow in Morpeth Cemetery.
