CAMERON,
Docia
Lorraine
Bennett.
Born April 14, 1917, Russell Springs, Logan County, Kansas; died,
Edmonton, April 16, 2003. Predeceased by her husband Norman S.
CAMERON, sisters Stella and Irene, and brothers Emory, Bill,
Guy, and Ivan. Mourned by daughter Jane

Duncan (Yolande
GRISÉ)
Chelsea,
Quebec, her brother Don (Georgie)
LEWISTON,
Idaho, and special Friends Michelle, Kevin and Olivia
TOM,
Penticton,
British
Columbia.
Like her parents Charles and
Mary she was an Alberta pioneer, arriving as a young child in
the farm country in the Forestburg area. Her youth was spent
in the world depression which so affected the prairies; at 22
she witnessed the outbreak of World War 2. Bride of a Naval lieutenant
she lived in Esquimalt, Prince Rupert, Halifax, and Toronto during
the war years. With her husband overseas, she established the
family home in Edmonton until a family move to Vancouver in 1966.
Shortly after Norman died in 1992 she returned to Edmonton. She
was a passionate Canadian, an admirer of her contemporary Pierre
Elliot Trudeau, a lover of good books, gardens, antiques, and
the opera on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. A wonderful story
teller, her sense of humour endeared her to many. She thrived
on lively conversation, good drink, and fine cuisine. Independent
minded, a fierce defender of all those she loved, and a steadfast
opponent of mean spirited governments, she lived her life fully.
In her memory donations may be made to the Parkland Institute,
University of Alberta.
