Doreen Vivian Cheek
Jan. 7, 1928 – Feb. 5, 2012
It is with sad hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, nana and great-grandmother Doreen Cheek. Doreen was born and raised in Chilliwack, B.C. and married her high school sweetheart Gordon 64 years ago. Doreen and Gordon lived in Chilliwack until the late ‘60’s when they decided to venture into the interior of B.C. In the early ‘70’s after a short stay in Smithers and Houston they moved to Williams Lake, which quickly became home.
Doreen was the ultimate homemaker and a mom who
always put her family first. She will be so dearly
missed by husband Gordon, sons Brent (Phyllis),
Bruce (Lorraine), Jeff (Pat) and daughter Loreen
(Mike) Williston. Her pride and joy were her grandchildren
Jay (Chantelle), Tyler (Joanna), Mitch, Brett
(Brianna), Jody, Jennifer (Ben), Stacey (Jarrod), Lee
(Cheryl), Kyle (Ashley) and Steven as well as the
ultimate great grandchildren Hannah, Paige, Lucas and
Brooke who came along.
The family would like to express a special thank you
for the years of attentive care given by Dr. Fedor. We
would also like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to
the nurses and staff of the Cariboo Memorial Hospital
and Deni House for the incredible care and compassion
given to both Doreen and the family.
In Doreen’s memory those wishing to make donations
may do so to Central Cariboo Hospice Palliative Care
Society in her name.
A private family gathering will be held Feb. 25, 2012
to honour this very special lady.
