“Grief is the last act of love we have to give to those we loved. Where there is deep grief, there was great love.”

With that in mind we sadly announce the passing of our mother, Minola Doucette, who slipped away peacefully on Friday, March 29th at the wonderful age of 100.5 years! Devoted wife of the late Adrian Doucette, and lovingly missed by her five children, John (Carolyn), Adrienne Walz (Tony Zanette), David (Debbie), Margaret Dunlap (Reid Bankley), Ken (Jean), and ‘Beavis’ (her cat).  

Grammie will be sadly missed by her 10 grandchildren - Richard Walz (Lisa Bonnell), Susan Miller (Jason), Jennifer Walz (Rick Howell), Whitney and Madison Zanette, Julia Vigilanti (Frank), Jenny Jamieson (Drew), Jessica Walters (Dan), Madison Spakoski, MacKenzie Williams (Leighton), and 12 great-grandchildren – Abby Walz, Tanner and Tia Miller, Jacob and Adriana Tinus, Emma, Sofia and Matthew Vigilanti, Parker and Grace Jamieson, Ethan and Payton Walters.

Having been orphaned at age 6 and sent to live with her grandparents who had no use for a sweet little girl with long blonde ringlets, Mom developed a quiet strength, determination, grace and dignity that got her through life until the very end.  Her sassy sense of humour prevails in our memories.  

Being an Air Force wife, Mother was able to create a loving home wherever we landed every few years. (Who says you can’t move the children while they’re in school! 😊)

Mom loved her church and over the years she was active in the programs it offered – the quilting bee, bake and craft sales, the Amazing Greys and many of her projects brought comfort to an untold number of refugees, children and families.

We welcome you to share in the celebration of Minola’s life this Friday, April 5th at 11:00 a.m. at Glen Acres Baptist Church – 223 Hartwood Ave, Waterloo N2J 1B2, 519.745.3031.

Minola’s wishes were in lieu of flowers, any donations may be made to the renovation of Glen Acres Baptist Church Fellowship Hall. Messages and condolences may be left at tricitycremations.com

1959 - 2019
 
Mark was born on August 23, 1959 and passed away in his sleep on March 29, 2019. 
 
He is survived by his sons, Robert (Jen) and his grandchildren Deegan and Everley from Fort McMurray, AB, and Matt (Erin) from Paris, ON., all of whom brought the joy to his life.  He also leaves behind his brother Steve (Cindy) and sister Carol (Dennis) Edwards, his friend Patti and her family, and several nieces and nephews whom he enjoyed spoiling when they were young.
 
He is predeceased by his parents, Jack Downs and Elinor Downs (nee Kohler) of Caledonia. 
 
Mark grew up in Caledonia and spent his adult life living in Kitchener and working as an electrician in and around the Waterloo Region.  He took great pride in his work and was most content while working.  He was also a self-taught carpenter.  Always willing to lend a hand to others, there are many carpentry projects that his family and friends continue to benefit from to this day.  His most recent project was helping Matt set up a welding shop in Paris.  
 
Mark enjoyed life by the Grand River, especially fishing, and playing or coaching hockey in the Caledonia arena just across the river from his childhood home.  He most enjoyed the time spent watching Rob and Matt competing in their various sports while growing up.
 
Thank you to everyone who supported Mark throughout his life.  May he rest in peace.     
There will be no public visitation. The family will privately share their memories. Should you wish to leave a message or  condolence they may be left at tricitycremations.com for the family.
