Caring Mother to Micheal (the late Donna), Bill, Ronald (Mark) and Heather (Mike). Proud Grandma to Rachelle, Shirley, Alison, Paige, Victoria, Michael and Meagan and Great-Grandmother to 9 with one more on the way. Dorien has also been reunited with her siblings, Clayton Brown and Della Fitzgeorge. She will be fondly remembered by her in-laws, Ruthanne, Robert, Ronald, Patty and Donna.

Dorien was amazing at everything she endeavored. For those that knew Dorien, know she was a wonderful cook, seamstress, artist and her latest hobby was coloring with great intricacy. Talents that she enjoyed sharing with her family. She adored her family, always so attentive, caring and compassionate towards their needs.
