Doreen and John became Ministers and planted many churches. Doreen had a great love for God and for people. She was never one to shy away of her faith. Doreen's last church was the Northern Lights Christian Fellowship in Chetwynd, BC. Doreen loved to smile and she would light up a room when she walked in. Friendships were so important to her. She treasured her friends and her church family. Doreen spent many days with the ladies having coffee and socializing at the local A&W. She will be dearly missed by them all.
