In 1975 she married Myron Swityk and began their family having two daughters Erin and Meghan. Doreen had a long career with the Saskatchewan Health Authority holding various positions in accounting and payroll departments. Once her girls finished schooling Doreen and Myron began their many travels. They have very fond memories of all their adventures with family and friends throughout the years. Doreen was very involved in her parish community at St. John Bosco, being a continuous member of the CWL, parish health council, prayer ministry and the adoration of the sacraments. She held onto her faith which only strengthened throughout her life.
