With deep sadness we announce the peaceful passing of our family matriarch in her 63rd year. Doris was the beloved wife and best friend of Gary. Loving mother of Justine (Robert), Adam (Sophia), Stewart (Martha) and Canadian mother to the lads from Scotland; Scott, Craig, Dave (Nicola) and the late Andy Kerr. Oma will be missed by her grandchildren, Marcus and Emily who adored her. Doris was predeceased by her parents Rudolf and Herta Schausberger and sister Marilyn. Survived by her older sister Renate. Doris was an avid reader, crocheter, painter and overall crafter. She loved candles, holiday decorating, music, her parents, her husband, her kids, their spouses, and her grandchildren. She loved her trailer at the French River, music of all kinds, cooking and baking. She was a Schausberger to her core. We will all miss her smile, her laugh, and her warm embrace. Thank you to Dr. Shaw and the team at Juravinski for their continuous support. Special thank you to Margaret’s Hospice for the love and kindness they showed not only to our mother but our father Gary as well. A Celebration of life will take place at their residence at a future date to honor Doris.
Thank you Doris for the love you surrounded my late son Andrew with, you and Gary warmly and lovingly welcomed Andrew into your family, one of your own. His love for you, Gary and your family was huge, his Canadian mum, you were always part of his conversation. I am deeply sorry we never got the chance to meet. I am sure Andrew and Adam would have loved that. 💔💔
My heart is aching for you all. Doris was an inspiration not only as a wife, mother, and Oma, but as a woman. She dedicated her life to her family and was truly one of a kind. She also made sure to take time to do all the things she loved, but even that was done with her family in mind. She will be greatly missed by so many <3 <3
