GORHAM, DORIS
Doris Mae Gorham, 90, of Gorham’s Bluff, NB, and most recently Halifax, N.S., known to all as “Dorie” and to her grandchildren as “Grammy”, Dorie Gorham passed away peacefully on January 13, 2016.
She was dearly loved and will be missed by her children Pat (Murray), Halifax; Tim (Naomi), Rockland, ON; Bob (Wendy), Ottawa; and Andy (Kirsten), Friedberg, Germany; and grandchildren Alex, Clare, Emma, Nathan, Isaac and Grace; cousin, Ernie Gorham, good friend, Danielle Godbout, special niece Harriet Gorham and many nieces and nephews, who all enjoyed her generous hospitality and zest for life when visiting Gorham’s Bluff.
Dorie enjoyed a life of many adventures with her husband Dick Gorham and had the marvelous opportunity to have seen most of the countries around the globe and to have immersed herself in many cultures while supporting his long career in Canada’s foreign service. An artist at heart, Dorie excelled at Ikebana flower arranging, achieving the rank of Ikebana Master, and in her later years became an expert at needlework. Dorie was engaged in her Kingston Peninsula community where she made many lifelong friends. She offered great service for many years as a volunteer with Peninsula Heritage, the Carter House Museum, and Branch 62 Peninsula Royal Canadian Legion.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Reid’s Funeral Home (506-832-5541), 1063 Main Street, Hampton, NB. A public memorial service will be held at a later date, details to be announced.
