Doris Marie (White) DeWolfe, passed away peacefully in the comfort of her family on April 1st, 2009, at the Halifax Infirmary, after a long and courageous battle with cardiovascular disease.

A gentle and beautiful soul who gave her time to all who asked, gave hugs to many and displayed a kindness and grace that will be remembered fondly by all who knew her. Having run numerous successful business ventures, with her husband and partner Tom, her wonderful spirit was matched only by her astute business mind.
