Doreen was born on January 17, 1931 to Robert and Miriam Sutherst in Hartlepool, County Durham, England. After joining a local cycling club in 1950 Doreen met David Easton, who became the love of her life and they remained happily married for a remarkable 67 years, holding hands to the end.
Doreen & David set on their adventure to British Columbia in 1953 to start a new chapter in their life. They had one son, Stephen, in 1961. Upon arriving in BC Doreen started her career in the investment business working for several brokerage firms. In 1996 she and David moved to Kelowna to be closer to Stephen and their daughter-in-law, Donna.
Doreen loved to cook and entertain, especially at Christmas. She and David travelled extensively and spent many winters in Hawaii, Mexico and Palm Springs. She valued her friends and played a special part in Stephen and Donna’s lives and was known and close to many of their friends. Doreen will be dearly missed by all that were lucky to have known her.
A small service for immediate family and friends will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations to Central Okanagan Hospice House (https://hospicehousekelowna.com).
