Doreen passed away peacefully on Tuesday, July 23, 2024 at the Ritz Villa, Mitchell. Loving wife of the late Glen Carter (2015). Dear mother of Cathy Broome (Kevan), Larry Carter (Colleen), and Colleen Carter. Cherished grandma of Wade (Domenica), Tonya (Joe), Adam (Lindsey), and Nicole (Mat).

Fondly remembered by her nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her parents John and Gladys Armstrong, and her sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Beryl and Watson Reid.
Our mother was a strong-willed woman who treasured being with her family and looked forward to gathering together. She loved to attend family sporting events and was an enthusiastic supporter from the stands!
The family is very grateful for the wonderful care and compassion given for her last years at the Mitchell Ritz Villa.
A private family service will take place at Haskett Funeral Home, Seaforth on Friday, July 26th at 2 PM. Interment Egmondville Cemetery.

Deepest sympathy and love to Doreen’s family. Doreen was a valued friend to us whom we considered family. Upon our visits to Canada she welcomed us with open arms. We very much loved the time we spent with her in her home and our stays at Ipperwash beach. She was such a pleasant fun loving person. Doreen will be missed greatly! A huge loss for us but a blessing to God as he gains a very special angel. We Love You all!!
