Obituary of Hilda Doerksen

It is with deep sadness, we say farewell to a loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend on Saturday, December 5, 2020 at Bethesda Regional Health Centre, Steinbach, MB.

Hilda was born to Peter and Katharina Falk on July 26, 1937, in Plum Coulee, MB. She was the second oldest of seven children. They moved to the Grunthal area when she was 14 years old.

In the early 1960’s she found a job in the city at the T. Eaton Co. where she met George H. Doerksen. They were married on June 27, 1964. In April of 1965, they welcomed their only child Patricia into their family.

In September 1972, they moved to River Road and Mom began her   career as a Health Care Aide at the St. Amant Centre. In 1987, she changed departments and worked there until her retirement. In 2002, she moved to Steinbach where she spent her Monday’s volunteering at the MCC and helped make quilts for third world countries which she enjoyed till 2020, when everything changed.

Mom enjoyed good health most of her life. She began feeling ill on the 23rd of November. On December 1st, the ambulance brought her in, and she was put on oxygen, where every day was a struggle to breathe. So, the decision was made to take her off oxygen and with medications to relax her.

She peacefully left this chaotic world with her daughter by her side.

Mom leaves to mourn her daughter, Pat, granddaughter, Lacey (Jason), grandsons: Shane, Vincent, Wayne and Joel.

She was predeceased by her loving husband George, grandson Scott, and son-in-law Dennis.

Deepest thanks to the ER staff and the second floor for being so caring and answering questions and letting Mom call home so she could have a little conversation.

A livestreamed private family service will be held on Tuesday, December 8, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. at Birchwood Funeral Chapel, Steinbach, MB.
