Miriam (nee Docherty) Dunne

With family members around her, Miriam Dunne (nee Docherty) passed away on the morning of February 19, 2018 following a brief illness. Recently predeceased by husband Ben, her passing is being deeply felt by her family, daughter Karen Hibbins (Brodie), granddaughters Audrey, Sadie and Lucy, sister Gwen Livingston (David), brother Louis Docherty, sister-in-laws Catherine Dunne and Rosemary Stewart as well as special cousin Barry Gass (Donna), and many close friends. Born in Charlottetown in 1949, Miriam lived the last 40 years in Oakville, Ontario, but never lost her love of the island, returning home each year to spend time with family and friends at cottages on the South Shore. Known for leaving an impression wherever she went, Miriam had a talent for making friends out of complete strangers. She was always happiest with people around her and is being remembered for her quick wit and sharp tongue, as well as being the life of every party. She was a great storyteller, and even while ill, continued to make everyone around her laugh with colourful tales from her life. Following her wishes, a celebration of life will be held on the island August 18, 2018 from 1-5 at Afton Hall. Refreshments and light snacks will be served following a brief ceremony. To honour her memory, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
