We Remember

ZAMBANO, Doreen Evelyn

August 12, 1936 — April 19, 2025

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the loss of Doreen Evelyn Zambano, who passed away peacefully at Kelowna General Hospital on April 19, 2025, at the age of 88.

Born in Vermilion, Alberta, in 1936, Doreen moved to British Columbia as a young girl, where she spent the rest of her life. She was a hardworking woman who built a career as a skilled CN operator, taking great pride in everything she did. At home, she was known for keeping a beautiful house and being a wonderful cook. She loved reading, had a keen eye for beautiful things, and enjoyed collecting a few luxurious treasures over the years.

More than anything, Doreen loved her family. She is survived by her son Robert, her daughter Leslie (Daniel), and her grandchildren Lexi and Ronan. Doreen was predeceased by her siblings David, Walter, and Isabelle; and parents William Findlay and Nelly Blais.

Doreen will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by everyone who knew her.

A service in honour of Doreen will be held at a later date. Details to be announced.
