Doris M. Anthes 1914 - 2008 Doris Mary Anthes, formerly of Royal Court, Riverview, passed away at the K.E. Spencer Memorial Home on Monday, June 23, 2008 at the age of 94. Born in Chatham, NB, she was the eldest daughter of the late Noonan and Theresa (nee Holt) Maher. Doris received her early education at St. Michael's Academy in Chatham. Upon graduation she went to Montreal where she obtained her Registered Nursing Degree from Royal Victoria Hospital in 1936. She remained in Montreal practising at the Royal Victoria and doing Private Duty Nursing at both the Royal Victoria and the Jewish General Hospital until her husband's transfer to Halifax in 1942 where they resided until 1977. At this time they moved to Moncton. During her retirement, Doris and Len fully enjoyed their summers with family and friends at their cottage at The Bluff in Shediac, NB, and several winters in West Palm Beach, Florida. We as family heard many stories of the wonderful retirement years they had together. Ten years prior to official retirement, Doris and her team organized the Association of Physician's Services of Nova Scotia at the Victoria General Hospital. Doris was also a great supporter of the Canadian Cancer Society and spent many years volunteering in the role of canvasser, canvas organizer and held the position of First Vice-President of the Halifax Unit. Doris always put her family first and made a career of kind deeds. She loved a good party and a good joke. She defined "good nature".
