Doris Gail Boguski

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Doris Gail Boguski at the age of 73. Doris will always be remembered as a strong woman who loved her family and grand dogs, enjoying many special memories together in nature. Doris loved to make everyone around her laugh, she had the ability to inject humor into everyday situations; her smile and laugh will be dearly missed. She spent most of her life living in Manitoba, recently moving to Alberta to be close to her children. We’ll remember Doris as a hard worker, loving mom, and lifelong learner, always reading and sharing her knowledge with others.

During her final moments Doris was surrounded by love, with her husband of 50 years by her side. The family would like to thank the Foothills Hospital for their incredible care, words do not do justice to express our gratitude.

Doris is survived by her husband, Frank; her daughter Lindsey, her son Jeremy (Brittany) and grand dog Chester. She was predeceased by her sisters Patricia and Janine; her parents Beatrice and Ernest and three grand dogs, the 'beagles' Casey, Copper and Bella.

In lieu of flowers the family are requesting donations to the Cochrane Humane Society.

TO THOSE I LOVE AND THOSE WHO LOVE ME

When I am gone, release me, let me go…

I have so many things to see and do,

You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears;

Be happy that we had so many years.

I gave to you my love, you can only guess

How much you gave to me in happiness.

I thank you for the love

you each have shown

But now it’s time I traveled on alone.

So grieve a while for me if grieve you must;

Then let your grief be comforted by trust.

It’s only for a while that we must part,

So bless the memories within your heart.

I won’t be far away, for life goes on;

So if you need me, call and I will come.

Though you can’t see me

or touch me, I’ll be near

And if you listen with your heart, you’ll hear,

All of my love around you soft and clear.

And then, when you must

come this way alone

I’ll greet you with a smile and say,

“Welcome Home.”
