Doris grew up in Lashburn, taking her schooling there and working at the local pharmacy and at the family owned BA Service Station. During the war she went to Ajax, Ontario where she worked in a shell factory.
On December 20, 1945 Doris married Keith Nesbitt in Lashburn. They moved to Trail, B.C. in 1946 and returned to Lashburn in 1953 to operate the family farm. In 1975, Doris and Keith retired from the farm and moved to Lashburn. During Doris’ time in Lashburn, she was involved with Kinettes, St. James United Church U.C.W., Hospital Auxiliary, Legion Auxiliary, South Lashburn W.I., and was always available to help with volunteer work. She was also an avid curler that represented her Branch several times in the Legion Playdowns. In addition to curling, she was a softball fan that became a regular part of the contingent that followed and supported the Lashburn Bluebirds. Keith and Doris remained in Lashburn until 1977, at which time they moved to Uranium City. In 1980, they moved to Westbank, B.C. In 1981, Doris had a stroke which she worked very hard to make a remarkable recovery from. They remained in Westbank until 1986 at which time they returned to Lashburn to be near family and friends. At every stop of the way, Keith and Doris developed lifelong friendships and maintained contact with many of those friends throughout the years.
Doris had a very special relationship with, and cared very deeply for, all of her nephews and nieces. Several have expressed that to them, she was the “fun aunt” and that they had many special memories of times spent with her.
Failing health created a need for a move to Pine Island Lodge (Maidstone) in 2003, followed by a move to Jubilee Home (Lloydminster) in 2004 where she remained until January 12, 2005 when she was hospitalized due to a broken hip. Further health problems developed following surgery and despite a brave effort, Doris passed away on January 30.
The family of Doris Nesbitt would like to express heartfelt gratitude to the Lloydminster Ambulance Service, doctors Dupluoy and Van Vuren and the staff at the Lloydminster Hospital and to the staffs at Jubilee Home in Lloydminster and Pine Island Lodge in Maidstone for their care and compassion for Mom and for their unending support for us throughout Mom’s illness. Also, our thanks to friends and family who have been there for us with their support. A graveside memorial service will be held in the spring.
It is the wish of the family that any memorial donations may be made to the Lloydminster Hospital - Palliative Care Unit, Jubilee Home (Lloydminster), Pine Island Lodge (Maidstone) or to the charity of your choice.
