She was born on July 24, 1926 in Truro to the late William and Ella M. (Bissett) Gunn. Doris grew up in Hantsport where she married Bob and they brought up their family.

During their time in Hantsport her and Bob were members of the local United Church, where mom, fittingly, enjoyed her role as treasurer of the UCW. Mom liked to sew and was an avid knitter. The click of knitting needles was a familiar sound. We all benefited from her sweaters and socks, mittens and afghans. She enjoyed trying new recipes and some of her favorites are still being enjoyed. She was a multitalented lady who knew how to stretch a dollar. When the family was young they bought an old fishing camp. With no electricity or modern plumbing it made for some very interesting and great memories. They had a big change in life in 1976 when they bought The Wildwood Motel in Shelburne where they were before they retired in 1984. The next years were spent in Mt. Uniacke until 1998 when they downsized to their condo in Bedford. Mom loved the sun and her frugal ways made it possible for her and Dad to enjoy many winters south after their retirement, whether it was on one of the southern islands or at a condo in Florida. To most Mom was a quiet reserved lady but she did not shy away from an adventure. She topped it all off by parasailing above the waters of the Dominican Republic when she was 87! It was certainly a life well lived!! Besides her parents, Doris was predeceased by her husband of 70 years, Bob (2022) and her only sister, Isobel Griffiths. She and Bob will be laid to rest at a later date in Riverbank Cemetery, Hantsport. | Gunn, Doris Elizabeth (I8749)

Shortly after they had retired and moved from Hantsport to Windsor, Winnie passed away in June 1979.

While being primarily based in Falmouth,they made numerous trips to Edmonton to visit with friends and Mary\'s family before she passed away in May 2007. When not working at his medical practice George managed to keep occupied with a variety of hobbies and pastimes, including curling, golf, music, horseshoes and pretty much any card game, particularly bridge. His gettogethers with his brothers in Wolfville and at the cottage were frequent (and legendary). George was also very involved in his community,most notably with his church and the Knights of Columbus. Aside from his parents, Calvin and Annie, he was predeceased by his wives, Winnie and Mary; siblings, Cecil, Muriel, William, Bernard, Samuel, Kathleen, Harold, James, Robert, and stepson, Will Kirwin. | Kenny, Dr. George Edward (I7798)
