Obituary of Doreen Miller

Doreen Ledzie Miller January 28, 1923 - June 21, 2019 Doreen Ledzie Miller passed away on June 21st, 2019 at 96 years of age at her home in Shellbrook, SK. Doreen immigrated with her parents from Poland in 1929 when she was 6 years old. She attended school at Cookson and later worked at the Holy Family Hospital in Prince Albert, SK. In 1946 she married Joseph Miller and settled on a farm in the Rayside area, later moving to the Rich Valley District. Doreen worked hard on the farm, also growing a huge garden from which she sold vegetables. Her passion was growing the largest tomatoes that anyone had ever seen, and she enjoyed this hobby to the very end. It is fitting that she passed away in her garden while taking care of her plants. Doreen was predeceased by her parents: Stanley and Angela Mocha; her parents-in-law: John and Mary Miller; her brother: Ed; and her six brothers-in-law and four sisters-in-law. She is survived by her four children: Betty (Allan) Sellers, Bob (Linda) Miller, Lois (Craig) Kurpiuweit, and Nancy Miller; her seven grandchildren, two step-grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, one sister-in- law and brother-in-law, and numerous nieces and nephews. A Private Graveside Service will be held at Shellbrook Cemetery.
