It is with great sadness the family announces the passing of Edith Beryl Doucette, 51, a resident of Kenora, Ont. for the past 20 years.
Edith was born and raised in the Fort Frances, Ont. area and moved to Atikokan, Ont., in 1969, where she lived until her move to Kenora.
Edith worked at the Rainy Lake Hotel in Fort Frances and at the Holiday Inn in Kenora. She also was a volunteer of the Salvation Army, and will be remembered for her knitting and love for her cat “Boots.”
Edith enjoyed living at the Amethyst House and will be missed by all her friends there, notably Ron and Joyce.
Edith will be lovingly remembered by her family, whom she cherished very much, including her brother, Don (Violet) Doucette; nieces and nephews, Sandra (Chris) Johnson, Donna (Jim) Warren, Tammy (Glen) Matichuk, and Terry Doucette; and great-nieces and nephews, Nick, Jason, Brodie, Dyllan, Donnie, Jamie, Jessie, Edith, Joe, and Johnny; as well as her furry pals, Maggie and Rocky.
Edith also touched the lives of Judy and Phil Rumpel and their sons, Guy, Sean, and Cory, and the entire Rumpel family, including Grandma Rumpel.
She also will be missed by many aunts, uncles, and extended family in Kenora, Atikokan, Fort Frances, Dryden, and Winnipeg.
As Edith requested, cremation has taken place.
Flowers are gratefully declined, but in memoriam donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Humane Society, or a charity of your choice would be heartfully appreciated.
A special thank you to the Rumpel family for loving Edith and always being there for her and our family.
To Drs. Daly and Cameron, the nurses and staff of the Lake of the Woods District Hospital, especially 3rd floor and ICU, and St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg, we thank you for your care.
A celebration of Edith’s life will be held Monday, Oct. 17, 2005 at 1 p.m. at Brown Funeral Home & Cremation Centre in Kenora, with Capt. Gloria Redner officiating.
A private family interment will take place at a late date.
