Doran, Virginia Ann 'Ginny'

(Nee ARKLEY)

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Virginia Ann Doran on August 5, 2021 at the Meaford Hospital surrounded by her family at the age of 90.

Ginny will be remembered as a sunny, positive and caring person. She loved swimming in Georgian Bay and was a very accomplished Bridge player.  She enjoyed winters in Florida with her husband Ron and her favourite place was at the family cottage on Sunnyside Beach.

Ginny is survived by her husband Ronald Doran, her three sons; Steven Doran (Martha), Richard Doran (Sharon), and Jeffrey Doran (Lorraine). She will be sadly missed by her grandchildren; Veronica (Scott Heath), Victoria (Ben Lincoln), Katie, Sean, and her great granddaughter Gwendolen Doran Heath.

    My thoughts are with Ron and the Doran family during this difficult time. I will carry the memory of seeing Ginny swim off her dock every month of July into August and on occasion share a few words of how lucky we were to live quietly beside one another.

    So sorry to hear of your loss.
    I remember her braving the bay’s chilly waters, and taking the shortcut from my parents for a quick visit.

    Ginny, you were a loving, thoughtful, giving mother in law. Your smile and warmth was felt by everyone that you met. I will miss our chats and ‘girl’ adventures with each other. The memories will shared and experienced will always be with me. I will miss you and think of you often. You are forever in my heart.
    Martha
