Mary Doucette

At the grand age of 101, Mary (Mollie) Doucette, the matriarch of the Heenan-Doucette family has achieved her final goal – to be reunited with her parents, Nicholas and Sarah Heenan, her brothers, Joe and Peter Heenan, her husband, Al Doucette, and her grandchildren, Tim and Sarah Doucette.

Strong in body and in spirit, Mollie was an inspiration throughout her life to her family and many friends. An indomitable nature reflected her belief that every cloud has a silver lining, a lesson she taught us all. She enjoyed the simple pleasures of life with a passion for the likes of dancing , entertaining, gardening , sewing, and bridge. She fulfilled a lifelong desire to visit her ancestral Ireland at age 86 where, among her travels and feats, she kissed the Blarney Stone. Born in New Westminster in 1915, Mollie relocated to Toronto as a child where she blossomed into an intelligent and beautiful woman. Her proudest achievement was her family – her children: Mike (May), Pat (Alan)and Dave (Maureen); her six grandchildren: Melissa, Jennifer, Brett, Nicole, Alison and Michael; and three great grandchildren: Jasmine, Emma, Bridget .

Our thanks to Park Place Manor in Aurora where Mollie happily spent the last five years, and special thanks to the management and staff there who cared for her and her immediate family during the last days of her journey.

Visitation will be held on Saturday October 15, 2016 from 12:00 - 1:00 p.m. with a Memorial Service to follow at Thompson Funeral Home, 530 Industrial Pkwy S (at Yonge St), Aurora at 1:00 pm.

Mollie will be honored in the manner she wished, a going away party with lots of bright colors, esp yellow.

In lieu of flowers, donations in her name may be made to Cystic Fibrosis Canada.
