Peacefully, on August 21, 2023, with family by her side her last few weeks, our beloved Doris left us. She will forever be loved by her daughter Sherri (Tony); son Jeff (Kim); and her grandchildren who will miss her immensely, Wade, Alida (Ian) and Aidan. She was predeceased by her beloved husband of 52 years Oli; precious granddaughter Thora; parents, Kate and Mundi Gudmundson, and her in-laws, Olafur and Disa, along with her siblings.
Doris was born in the Gimli Hospital and was the second last daughter. She was surrounded by eight siblings. Doris became a mom for the first time in 1964 and then completed her family in 1965. She stayed home with the kids and was a home maker for all of them and was hands down the best cook! Amma worked at Co-op, and with family ran the Arnes Cottage Inn. Her best role came in 1992 when she became an Amma. Amma made every single occasion special, she was always thinking of activities to keep us busy, you never left her house bored or hungry. She was the best Amma and loved us unconditionally.
In 2016 she was diagnosed with cancer and underwent treatment which took a toll on her health. She cherished her time in Gimli and was sad to say goodbye to her place there, but quickly learnt that the move to the Arborg assisted living centre would be perfect. She was reunited with siblings, able to be independent with support.
Amma lived a very full life and knew it was time to go so she could become our guardian angel. We will always find ways to remember her whether it’s in music, cooking, canning, gardening, crafting, shopping, and being with family she will always be with us. Huge thanks to the staff at HSC, Selkirk Hospital, Arborg assisted living, and all her home care workers.
As for Doris’s wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no formal service. Interment will take place later with her family.
