In loving memory ~

Our Mom Dorilda Gach passed away peacefully on October 15, 2024 at Poplar Ridge in Trail, BC. She was 95.

Dorilda grew up in North Battleford, Saskatchewan and moved to Trail with her sister Hannah when she was 19. She met Bing Gach in Rossland and was married the next year. Dorilda and Bing raised their 6 children in Warfield where she lived for over 60 years. She is survived by her children Darlene Brewis, Mary Ellen (Steve) Heidt, Lynda (Jim) Harkness, John (Stacy) Gach, Rob (Sonya) Gach and Tammy Gach; 15 Grandchildren and 17 Great Grandchildren, her sisters Lorraine MacPherson, Joyce Whyte, Florence (Terry) James, her brother Harry (Sharleen) Startup, and numerous nieces and nephews.

She is predeceased by her loving husband Bing, Son-in-law Buzz Brewis, Grandchildren Kelly and Joey, her Sister Hannah and Brothers George and Robert.

Mom lived a full life as a loving wife, supportive mother, caring grandmother and exceptional homemaker. She loved to laugh, sing and dance and there were lots of celebrations in our house. You would be sure to hear that wonderful laugh Saturday afternoons at the Mall with Aunty Rainy and Aunty Joyce.

Mom and Dad didn't travel much with 6 kids at home but in her later years she enjoyed cruising with her daughters, her trips to Hawaii and always her visits to Wine Country!

She will be missed by her family and friends, please join us for a celebration of life at the Trail Legion, November 4th, 2024 from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm.

In lieu of Flowers please donate to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
