PORTER, Doreen
October 18th, 1941 – October 5th, 2023
After a year battling cancer, all she asked was that it happen peacefully in the home she loved, and that wish came true for her. Mother to Kristine, Melanie and Don, Grandma to Austin (Peanut). Special friend to Stan. Survived by her brother Bill, Aunt Elly, Carol, Richard and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
She faced more adversity in her lifetime than she deserved, yet through it all she managed to remain warm and caring to the end. She is already greatly missed.
Special thanks to the staff at the MUHC. In lieu of flowers, condolences can be made via the MUHC Fondation.
In respect of her wishes, no funeral service will be held. A celebration of her life will be held at a later date.
