It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Marita Doucette (nee Doiron), at the Provincial Palliative Care Centre, Charlottetown, on Monday, September 18, 2017, surrounded by her loving family, aged 87.

She is also survived by her sister, Stella Blanchard; brother, Edgar Doiron (Pat); brothers-in-law, Yvon Dionne, Alyre Doucette; sisters-in-law, Norma MacDonald, Fran MacDougall (Mel) and Ella Doucette; and many nieces and nephews.

Marita was a wonderful and kind hearted person who always enjoyed life to the fullest. She had a great love for her family which was brightened by their many visits to the farm. She enjoyed playing bingo and a good game of cards with family and friends. We will miss her great sense of humour and her bright smile, but most of all her presence in our lives.
