Passed peacefully away at St. Claire's Mercy Hospital at St. John’s on Sunday, July 23, 2023, Doris (Dos) Marie Hardy, age 58 of Rencontre East.

Dos leaves to mourn her loving family: sisters, Dora Dyke (Bert) and Pam Hardy, all at Rencontre East; brothers, Ray Hardy (Grace) and Jim Hardy (Lisa), all at Rencontre East; a circle of nieces and nephews; her great nieces who she loved dearly; as well as a circle of other relatives and friends.

Dos was predeceased by her parents, Ada and George Tom Hardy; sister, Susanna Hardy.

Although she was born a twin, Dos was proud to share that she was the last baby ever born on Loupoint, where she would spend her younger days before the family moved to their current home ‘down the harbour.”

Dos has always shown a love for the outdoors and worked hard on the water all her life; from fishing with her Father and later her brother, Jim, to the last 12 years spent working in aquaculture. Dos always took pride in her work and shared a special bond with those she worked with.

Dos was always active in the community from helping with recycling, delivering groceries, and helping community members and newcomers alike.

From the time she first became an aunt 40 years ago she has shown immeasurable love and pride for all her nieces, nephews and great-nieces. She loved all her siblings and always went above and beyond but shared a special bond with her youngest sister, Pam, as they lived together for 41 years.

“A golden heart stopped beating,

hard working hands at rest,

God broke our hearts to prove to us,

He only takes the best.”

Dos will be truly missed but always remembered by those who knew and loved her.

Funeral Service was held on Saturday, July 29, 2023 at 11:00am at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church, Rencontre East with Rev. Tryphena Vallis officiating. Interment followed at the Anglican Cemetery, Rencontre East.
