CORKUM

It is with much sadness that we announce the death of Doris Irene Corkum. She lived a full life to the age of 93 and passed away peacefully on Monday, October 19, 2026 at Ridgewood Assisted Living in Bridgewater. Born in Port Medway, she was a daughter of Farish and Mary (Richardson) Dolliver. Doris dedicated a large portion of her life to caring for family members and friends. She always said that helping others made her feel good. In earlier years she helped her husband, Stanley, fishing off Eastern Points. She was a member of St. Barnabas Anglican Church in Blue Rocks. Doris is survived by many nieces and nephews and dear friends. Besides her parents, she was predeceased by husband, Stanley; sister, Myrtle Brockhouse; brothers, Edward, Gus, Clyde and Charles.

Arrangements are entrusted to the Dana L. Sweeny Funeral Home, 11213 Hwy 3, Lunenburg. All are welcome to attend a graveside service on Wednesday, November 4 at 2:00 pm at Upper Blue Rocks Cemetery, Blue Rocks. In support of Doris' special passion for animals, memorial donations may be made to SHAID Tree Animal Shelter.

Special thanks to the staff at Ridgewood Assisted Living and to NP Axel Saile for the compassionate care offered to Doris.
