Madison Rose Doerksen

Madison Rose Doerksen, beautiful daughter of Barry and Karla Doerksen of Red Deer, was born at 9:23 am on Wednesday July 19th, 2017 at the Red Deer Hospital. Her beautiful blue eyes, thick black hair, and strong cries brought her parents much joy, before she passed away unexpectedly a few minutes after her birth. Her parents will miss her dearly, but find comfort in the hope of heaven, that they will see her again one day. She is survived by her loving parents, Barry and Karla Doerksen of Red Deer; grandparents Oswaldo and Jacqueline Benavides of Three Hills, AB. and Arno and Wanda Doerksen of Gem; as well as uncles and aunties: Daniel (Kimberly) Doerksen and children Gradey, Kyleah, and Bowden, Lorin (Katie) Doerksen and children Lucy and Josie, Brent (Lara) Benavides, and Curtis Benavides; five great grandparents, and numerous other family and friends, who would have loved the privilege of meeting her. Her parents would like to sincerely thank the staff of the Piper Creek Medical Clinic, and the staff of Unit 25 of the Red Deer Hospital for the care received before, and after Madison’s birth. A Celebration of Madison’s Life was held at Deer Park Alliance Church in Red Deer on Thursday July 27th, 2017 at 3:00 pm. A private family burial was held at the Gem Cemetery.
