Obituary
MERRIFIELD….
At Waverley Mansion, London on Thursday, January 16th, 2003, Mrs. Doreen Marjorie (Heenan) Merrifield of London in her 80th year. Beloved wife of the late George A. Merrifield. Dear mother of Scott Merrifield and his wife Patricia; Paul Merrifield and his wife Sophia and Brock Merrifield and his wife Heather all of London. Dear sister of Molly Hall and her husband Robert of Mayville, NY and Kathleen Heenan of London. Also loved by her grandchildren Lindsay, Kate, Gillian, Jane, Natalie, Anne and Grace. Dear Aunt of Pamela, Stephen and Susan. Doreen accomplished a lot in her life, and all would agree she was a fiercely loyal friend and a true character in her own right. Doreen and George opened Merrifield Bookshop in Woodstock, Ontario in 1972 and she continued operating the business until her retirement, returning to London to be with her family and active in the lives of her seven granddaughters. Born in Shaunavon, Saskatchewan, Doreen loved life – through her early years in Ingersoll, serving in the Air Force overseas, her career with the London Board of Education – and most of all, time spent at Woburn Abbey in Pike Bay. Friends will be received by the family from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Sunday at the A. Millard George Funeral Home, 60 Ridout Street South, London. The funeral service will be conducted at St. James Westminster Anglican Church, 115 Askin Street, London on Monday, January 20th, 2003 at 1:00 p.m. with Reverend Canon Ken Anderson officiating. Spring Interment in Anglican Cemetery, Woodstock. As an expression of sympathy, memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of London & Middlesex, 555 Southdale Road East, Suite 100, LONDON ON N6E 1A2.

Dear Molly:
Sorry to hear about Doreen. We got to know her through the bookstore and always enjoyed our visits with her there.
Just wanted you to know that we are thinking of you.
Ann has not been well so we are unable to get her from Cambridge/Preston to London to see you. We are passing along her condolences as well.
Love,
Tony, Les and Ann
We were very sorry to hear about your loss and wish to extend our deepest sympathies to you and your family. Doreen was a wonderful person and many peoples lives were enriched by having known her. I remember a conversation with Brock many years ago when he told me Doreen had finaly made the decision to purchase a new car. The clincher was based on the fact she liked the sound the doors made when she closed them. I (we) thought it amusing at the time. But you know, she knew what she was doing because if memmory serves me correctly, that car served her well.
We extend our deepest sympathy on your loss. Our thoughts are with you.
Paul Plant, Len Magyar & Faye Eltom
