Doreen enjoyed reading, history, current events, traveling and most of all her loved her good friends and family. She was always prepared to trudge forth through the snow and bask in the sun always enjoyed being the woman about town. She was proud and while serious, loved to joke and laugh. Doreen loved her friends, family and community, participated in many organizations and always kept current on events happening locally and worldwide. She never forgot a person's name or where she had been on her travels.

Doreen is survived by her niece, Cynthia (Barnes) Winter and husband Steve, and nephew, Randall Barnes. Doreen is preceded in death by her sister, Evadne (Williams) Barnes and her parents Henry and Elsie Williams.

Thank you to St. Thomas Church for your friendship and the wonderful community Doreen loved, to all her friends, and to Genesis Lebanon Center for the loving care. The mighty New Englander's spirit will forever be with us. Live Free or Die!
