LAKE, Doris Splane 90, Falmouth, formerly of Summerville, passed

Halifax. Born January 11, 1923, in Cheverie, Hants Co., she was a daughter
of the late Willard Wood and Elsie (Splane) Fielden. Doris was a loving
mother, wife,and amazing grandmother. In her younger years she loved to
dance and always enjoyed a good shore "kitchen party". She was a homemaker
most of her life and as anyone who visited her home can attest to, she
wasn't happy until you were fed. Her greatest joy was her grandchildren
and great-grandchildren and they adored her. One of her more recent fond
memories was her 90th birthday party. The happiness all her visitors
brought her that day lasted for weeks. Doris will be sadly missed by
her daughters, Wendy Patterson (Robin), Sackville; Tanya Burgess (Tim),
Falmouth; grandchildren, Joel Spencer, Brett Patterson, Melanie Patterson
and Erin Burgess; her great-grandchildren, Zachary Eldridge, Courtney
Eldridge, Hannah Spencer and Jadea Spencer. Besides her parents, Doris
