Doreen Peterson, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away on June 20, 2026, at the age of 78 in Canada.
Born in Thangesseri on January 14, 1948, Doreen was the daughter of Richmond and Angelina Bartholomuesz. Gifted with proficiency in seven languages, allowing her to connect effortlessly with people from all walks of life. She went on to pursue a career in nursing, a profession that reflected her generous heart and lifelong desire to care for others in Dubai, where she touched many lives with compassion, patience, and quiet strength.
Above all else, Doreen was devoted to her family. She was the beloved wife of Kilburn, with whom she shared a lifetime of love, partnership, and cherished memories. She was a proud and loving mother to her sons, David and Dean, and warmly welcomed her daughters-in-law, Elaine and Karina, as treasured members of the family. She was also a cherished grandmother to her three grandchildren, Jessica, Wyatt and Chiara. A sister to Irwin, Marie, Duncan, Audrey, Rosebud, Henrietta & Osmond.
She will be remembered for her kindness, her love of animals, and her willingness to help anyone in need. She enjoyed fishing, playing twenty-eight, finding a good bargain, and spending time with family and friends. Her kitchen was the heart of her home, and her table was always open to family, friends, and guests. An exceptional cook with mastery of many cuisines, she found genuine happiness in preparing meals for those she loved. Doreen’s cooking brought people together and created lasting memories. Her generosity, hospitality, and the comfort she provided through her food will be remembered by all who were fortunate enough to share a meal with her.
A funeral service will be held on 28 June 2026, 3 PM at Assumption Catholic Funeral Home, located at 6933 Tomken Road, Mississauga, ON L5T 1N4. Visitation will take place between 1 and 3 PM. Burial will follow on 4 July 2026 at 11 AM at Assumption Catholic Cemetery, located at 6933 Tomken Road, Mississauga, ON L5T 1N4.
Flowers can be sent to the Funeral Home, or memorial contributions may be made to ALS Society of Canada.
Her family gives thanks for the love, prayers, and support received during this difficult time. Doreen’s life will be remembered by all, and her memory will remain in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.

Dear Anita my prayers to you and your family god bless all of you
To my beautiful Aunty Doreen,
Where do I even begin?
Some people come into your life and leave footprints. You, Aunty, left your heart.
You were always unconditional in your love and support. Never any judgement, never any expectations, never any conditions…just love. You were there for every single one of us through life’s highest highs and our lowest lows. No matter what was happening, we knew we could count on you.
You gave me my very first break in life, and for that I will be forever grateful and that is a gift I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
We shared so many memories—most of them wonderfully crazy, completely spontaneous, and full of laughter. You had an incredible knack for finding the most random little shops, the best bargains, the most unusual snacks and those “once-in-a-lifetime deals” that somehow always ended up being absolutely worth the detour. I’d like to think I’ve inherited that talent from you… Every time I wander into some random shop, I smile because I know exactly where I got it from.
Travel was never an issue for you either. A car built for five? Somehow we’d fit maybe eight! Looking back now, I still wonder how managed to get away with all that … however we enjoyed every minute of it.
Our weekend trips to Sharjah are memories I’ll treasure forever. They were filled with adventure, enough food to feed an army, and flasks of mysterious beverages that I still wonder how we pulled off drinking with a straight face … you know … the kind you have when you drink coffee LOL
Somehow everything always tasted better because we were together.
Your hospitality was unmatched. No one could cook quite like you, and no one ever left your home hungry. Your generosity wasn’t something you did…it was simply who you were.
And yes… our shared love of mangoes deserves a special mention! We loved every variety… except, of course, the ones from Pakistan! That little joke will always make me laugh, and every mango season will remind me of you.
As I sit here trying to find the right words, I realise there simply aren’t enough. How do you sum up someone who gave so much of themselves to everyone around them? Someone whose love shaped so many lives?
What I do know is this – my life is infinitely better because of your love, your care, your generosity and your unwavering belief in all of us.
Thank you for every hug, every laugh, every adventure, every meal, every shopping expedition, every road trip, every memory and every act of kindness. Thank you for loving us so completely.
You were one of a kind, and the hole you’ve left behind can never be filled. But the love you’ve given us will stay with us forever.
I will miss you more than words can ever say.
Rest peacefully, my beautiful Aunty Doreen.
I love you always.
My sister Doreen,
You were not only my little sister, you were the heart of our family…So full of life
Thank you for all the love, kindness and happy memories we shared throughout our lives. I will miss you very much, but I will carry you in my heart always.
Rest in peace, my beautiful sister.
With all my love,
Marie
To Kilburn,David, Dean, Elaine, Karina, Jessica, Wyatt and Chiara,
Please accept my deepest love and condolences. Doreen loved each of you with all her heart, and I know how devoted you were to her. You were a close and loving family, and I hope you find comfort in the wonderful memories you shared together.
With love,
Aunty Marie and all the family here in Australia
Doreen…The most caring and loving person I have ever known. Had time for everyone at all times. Doreen will be sorely missed. The memories and the unforgettable good times we shared will live on forever.
Farewell, Dear Doreen
Today we bid farewell to our beloved Doreen with heavy hearts. Though you have left this world, your love, kindness, and gentle spirit will remain with us forever.
Thank you for the precious memories, your warmth, and the joy you brought into our lives. You will always have a special place in our hearts and will never be forgotten.
May our loving God welcome you into His eternal kingdom, where there is no more pain or sorrow. Rest peacefully in His loving embrace until we meet again.
Forever remembered, forever loved.
Kenny
