Obituary of DORIS MARIE HADALLER

DORIS MARIE HADALLER

(Nee Giasson, previously Seidel) 1932-2021

It is with sadness we announce the passing on August 21,2021, of our beloved mother, Doris Hadaller. She is survived by her children Frank (Wendy), Janice, Debra (Bob), Larry, Mariena (Laszlo), and Linda (Michael); grandchildren Jennifer, Andrew (Carrie), Kevin (Kristin), Trevor, Graham (Kim), Roberta (Rod), Zachary and Alexander; great grandchildren Kennedy, Brooklyn, Meadow, Paige, Justin and Kaitlyn, sisters Florette (Art) and Dianne (Bob) as well as many extended family and friends.

Doris came from a large family of fourteen children and spent her childhood in Fisher Branch, Manitoba. She married Frank Seidel and resided in Fannystelle, MB. It is here that her first five children were born, and she was an active and vital member in the farming community. In 1961, Doris and Frank purchased a farm in the Starbuck area and in the spring of 1962 began to reside there. Shortly after, in the fall of 1962, a farming accident occurred and Frank passed away. Doris then moved into Winnipeg and became a Licensed Practical Nurse. She worked only a short time of two years as a nurse, in Foyer Valade and St. Boniface General Hospital. She married Leo Hadaller in 1967 and moved to Rosser in 1968. Leo and Doris had a daughter, Linda, in 1969. Leo passed away in 2003 and the Rosser farm was sold in 2007. Doris then moved to Winnipeg.

Doris was a "farm girl" at heart. She loved and respected nature. She was a hard worker and was not one to have many idle afternoons. She could always be found doing something around the farm. It was by this example that her children developed and maintained a strong work ethic. She was always one to lead by example, both at home, as well as when she was company as she would be the first volunteer to help with whatever chore was at hand.

Doris spent countless hours in her cherished gardens, both enjoying the beauty of her flowers as well as providing vegetables for the family. Many summer days were spent with her girls canning and freezing.

Doris had the ability to make the ordinary extraordinary. Meals at her place were full and hearty, homemade, and often on fine dishes with pretty accessories. She loved to cook for her family and friends and until she left the farm in Rosser, she would host large celebratory meals. No family member left her home without leftovers, even on a surprise visit.

Another fine quality which will be missed by her family is her ability to tell stories of days gone by. You would often hear a new story. She thought her life was very ordinary but she gave her family a rich fabric of values, work ethic, humor, and a sense of right and wrong.

Doris was a very devoted Roman Catholic. She was a member of The Catholic Women's League and taught catechism for a short period of time. She was an active member of prayer groups and wanted people to know she loved and worshipped her God. She was at peace with the acceptance of her death.

Doris will be greatly missed by all who cherished her. The family wishes to thank Grace Hospital for their kindness in Doris' final days. A private family service will be held.
