Posted By On December 4, 2024 @ 12:00 AM In Goderich, Obituary | 5 Comments
Doreen passed away peacefully at the Clinton Public Hospital on December 4, 2024 in her 88th year. Born in 1936, Doreen was the daughter of the late Donald and Dorthea MacKenzie and sister to the late Donald Robert MacKenzie. Doreen will be fondly remembered by Carol Simons, Ted and Jean Dunn and family, as well as by many friends, neighbours and relatives.
Doreen started her teaching career as a Public School Teacher and then moved to the Goderich District Collegiate Institute, where she taught Art and English. Doreen was an active member of the Bayfield Agricultural Society and St. Andrew’s United Church in Bayfield On.
Her passion for animal welfare as well as her love for gardening and flowers was evident in the many flowers she grew and arranged for many friends, the church and community events. She was passionate about the environment long before climate change was even talked about.
A celebration of life will be held on Wednesday December 11, 2024 at St. Andrew’s United Church, Bayfield, On. with visitation starting at 11:00 am until the time of the funeral service at 12:00 noon. Reception in the Church Hall to follow. Arrangements entrusted with McCallum and Palla Funeral Home, Goderich, On. (519) 524-7345. In lieu of flowers, a memorial donation may be made to St. Andrew’s United Church, Bayfield, On. or a charity of your choice. There will be a Spring interment in the Bayfield Cemetery.
