RENNIE, Doris Lorine Rennie

Passed away peacefully on Sunday, January 25, 2026 in Port Perry, Ontario. Doris was the beloved wife of the late Ivan Rennie (2004). Cherished mother of James (Connie) Rennie of Flamborough, Marie (Brian) Wilson of Ancaster, Nancy (Greg) Love of Mississauga, and Doug (Karen) Rennie of Wick. She will be remembered fondly by her grandchildren; Dianne Wilson, Mark (Krista) Wilson, and Carolyn (Jacob) Johnson; Alex and Bradley Love; Ruth, Joel and Nathan Rennie; and great-grandchildren; Kyla, Kailey and Myles Wilson and Quinn and Cora Johnson. Doris was predeceased by her parents, Cecil and Mabel (Woon) Phair, her sister Helen, her brother Wilmot and his wife Barbara of Greenbank and by her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Clarence and Shirley Rennie of Guelph.

Doris was raised on the Phair farm south of Greenbank, and received her education in Greenbank and Port Perry.  In 1948, she married Ivan Rennie and together, they farmed near Wick in Brock Township. She loved farm life and was a busy homemaker and gardener all of her life. Doris was relentlessly curious about a wide variety of things. She loved learning about nature and took great pleasure in tending her flowers and feeding her birds. She also loved the music and the message of the hymns and would often sing along with them until well past her 102nd birthday. Doris has also left her descendants with extensive notes and photos of our family history. Knitting, baking, painting, letter writing and reading were also part of her active life. She has left a wonderful legacy as a faithful wife, mother and grandmother. Our family extends their sincere gratitude to the staff and caregivers at the West Shore Village Retirement Home and Dr. Shepherd for their compassionate care of our beloved mother.
