Audrey Doy Obituary

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother Audrey Doy on May 14th, 2024 at the Halifax Infirmary with her daughters Cathy and Andrea by her side.

Audrey was born on March 30th, 1939 in Halifax to Fred and Helen Clarke. She was one of 7 siblings. She grew up in Halifax, where she met Patrick Doy and they were married on April 12, 1958. Together they shared a full life with their three children Allan, Cathy and Andrea.

Audrey was known for loving smile and kindness towards others. She spent many years in the retail business working at Dominion and IGA, ending her career in 2014 with Sears Canada. She touched many lives along the way, always showing compassion and friendship. She was a member of Emmanuel Church in Spryfield, and part of Mothers Union.

Her sisters Joyce, and Sandra, and brother Dennis, as well as many nieces and nephews. She will also be sorely missed by her furry grand-babies Macie, Buddy (dog), Gemma, Buddy (cat), and Merlin.
