Doreen Piontek

Doreen was the loving mother of five sons (Harrold): Alan & Lynne (Jeff, Amy [Johnny], Sarah and Mark [Perline]); Doug & Nina (Scott); Glen & Karen (Jason [Sam] and Tyler [Amanda]); Keith & Barb (Jessica and Cody [Alena]); and Dale & Shelley (children from a previous marriage: James [Linzy], Tina [Marc], Justin and Steven); and 10 great-grandchildren, as well as many nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her brother Gordon Clarke and sister Thelma Friesen.

Besides her husband “Curly”, she was predeceased by her mother Vergie, father Alexander, stepmother Helen, and sister Faye.

Doreen was born in Macleod, and raised in Lethbridge, where she resided until her passing. Our beloved mother was left on her own to raise her sons from ages 4 – 14, and she sacrificed everything for us. Although she had been a stay-at-home mother, she then had to become employed to provide for her family. Doreen was employed for nearly 25 years in a health care facility, where she enjoyed helping to care for the elderly.

Her greatest love was spending time with her sons and their families. She loved camping & hiking, gardening, and just spending time outdoors, sewing, golfing and playing cards with the family. She loved travelling and taking pictures of her travels. She enjoyed attending her grandchildren and great-grandchildren’s activities.

A Funeral Service will be held at CORNERSTONE FUNERAL HOME, 2825 – 32 Street South, Lethbridge, AB, on Saturday, December 20, 2025 at 11:00 A.M. with Pastor Tim Klein officiating.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Chinook Regional Hospital Foundation (crhfoundation.ca) or a charity of one’s choice.
