Doreen Margaret Ferguson aged 87 years of Moose Jaw, SK, passed away peacefully, with her daughters by her side, on Saturday, February 24th, 2024.
Doreen worked at Safeway for many years and definitely enjoyed talking and interacting with all the customers she met everyday. She had the gift of the gab and had a conversation with them all.
After retiring, Doreen and Merv moved to BC but came home to Saskatchewan after 5 years on the west coast. They enjoyed dancing and playing cards, and most especially camping every summer at Buffalo View Campground. Doreen was also a volunteer in the gift shop at the hospital for 20 years. She was definitely a people person and loved talking to everyone of all ages.
She was predeceased by her husband, Merv after almost 50 years of marriage; and sons-in-law, Phil and Greg. Doreen leaves to mourn her passing, her children: Lyle (Anita), Wendy, Ken (Phyllis), JoAnn (Garet), Murray, and Sandy (Darren; as well as 16 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.
Special thanks to Dr. M. Alberts and the ER staff, Moose Jaw EMS, and her Chateau St. Michael caregivers and nurse Al, Claudette, Tianna and Claudia.
Mom had a kind word and a smile for everyone and always said,
“You never know what kind of day they are having”.
