Obituary
MacArthur, Doris (Quinney)…..died in the comfort of her home surrounded by love on Wednesday February 11, 2015 in her 80th year. She is survived by her loving husband of 62 years Bob, daughters Debra MacArthur (Barrie Weiner), Dale MacArthur (Stuart Ewing) and Dawn Turner (Scott Turner). A loving grandma she will be sadly missed by Chris MacArthur, Katie, Maddie and Zac Turner. She was gigi to Hannah and Jack MacArthur. Special sister to Marilyn Hutton and dear friend of Ev Rice. Enjoying life and having fun with her family was very important. She was often seen at soccer pitches, hockey arenas, basketball games and track meets. Never missing a school concert, award ceremony or graduation. Celebrating her family’s accomplishments was a priority. Her special times were quiet evenings at home with her husband and dog. She loved games, and was an expert at sequence beating daughters and grandchildren on a regular basis. Travel was always a big part of her life. Adventures included car trips, visiting family, cruising and RV travel. Licorice and jube jubes close at hand, cottage times and sunsets a must. Her legendary scalloped potatoes, tuna melts, creamed peas and cheesecake were always requested at family dinners. Over the years hundreds of mittens were knit for mitten trees. She knit for those she loved and those who were less fortunate. Doris loved concerts: Smokey Robinson, Neil Diamond, Cher, Frank Sinatra, Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, and Barbara Streisand the list goes on. Her last concert was Elton John – such a fabulous evening with her three daughters. For many years she has been a loyal supporter of Theatre London and Orchestra London. Doris was the best wife, mother, grandma, gigi, sister and friend. She will be missed, always was and will continue to be a part of our lives every day. The family would like to thank Dr. Sanatani, Julie and Dr. Inculet for their compassionate care.

“Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal”. I’m sure that, in time, the loss and healing will become easier (as we have found out). She had a long, full and happy life; something to be treasured and cherished when you all fondly remember her.
DORIS WAS MY ONLY SISTER, AND I WILL MISS HER MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY. I WAS ABOUT 6 WHEN SHE WAS BORN, A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL WITH HUGE BLUE EYES AND WHITE BLOND HAIR. SHE WAS LOVED FROM THAT DAY TO FEB. 11,2015 AND SHE WILL BE LOVED FOREVER AFTER.I LOVE YOU, DORIS. MARILYN
Dear MacArthur family,
I was saddened to learn of Doris’ passing. She was a lovely lady who faced her illness with great determination and courage. MIT was a privilege to care for her during her time at LRCP. When at the beach in Bayfield, I will remember her fondly.
Take care,
Nurse Nancy
To Dale and Family:
We are so sorry to hear about your loss . Our heartfelt condolences.
Hello Bob,
Sorry to read about the passing of your wonderful wife Doris. I remember you talking about her often in many flattering ways. My condolences to you and your family.
I can’t stop crying — I’m so sorry Doris has moved beyond us. She was so much more than most. I loved her then, I love her still…
Dear Bob, Deb, Dale, and Dawn
Our memories of Doris are rich and so fond — our many times on the West Coast, several times in Vegas, and even a rendezvous at Bayfield! What a wonderful person Doris was — always interested and encouraging no matter what state of affairs we were in during our adult life stages.. Her laugh was priceless, her kindness genuine, and her love gentle. Thank you for sharing her with us — a very special person who inspired us and many others. Love Kathy & Kirk
