Dora Veysey

Dora Veysey passed away peacefully on Saturday, November 7, 2026, with family by her side at Rideau Park Personal Care Home in Brandon, MB.

Dora was born to George & Helen Barg in Coaldale, AB on June 18th, 1938. She was the second youngest of ten children. After graduating grade 12, she worked at the Bank of Montreal before leaving home to work in the administration department of Briercrest Bible College. While working there, Dora met Morris, who was in his second year of college. They later married on July 22, 1967.

In 1972, they purchased the Ryerson General Grocery Store & Post Office. A few years later, Morris & Dora moved to a farm south of Maryfield. While on the farm, Dora worked for Homecare for 22 years from 1981 to 2003.

Dora always found time to grow a massive garden every year and preserve fruits and vegetables to help see the family through the winter months. Somehow, between working for homecare, helping on the farm, volunteering at the church, making meals, and cleaning house, she always had time for a cup of tea and dessert for those who dropped in for a visit. Dora loved being in the kitchen, entertaining, and playing games. Ping Pong and Aggravation were two of her favourites.

Dora’s faith in God helped her through many seasons of heartache and struggle. She turned to prayer, singing hymns, and trusting God to come through as He promised. Dora demonstrated to all of us what it means to persevere.

After 20 + years of farming, Morris and Dora made the difficult decision to leave their friends, quit farming and move to Brandon. There they began working for their son, Glenn, for his commercial cleaning business. She attended Faith Fellowship Baptist Church and developed new friendships there.

Dora always enjoyed spending time with her grandkids, especially baking, playing games, and going for ice cream. She loved having them around and making each visit special.

Dora was predeceased by her parents, all her siblings, and her son-in-law, Roger.

She is survived by her husband, Morris and their four children: Dolores (Stuart), Marilyn, Shirley (Steve) & Glenn (Tara) and eight grandchildren - Steven, Charlotte (Caleb), Janessa (Levi), Carson, Nicholas, Danica, Akayla, & Raeanna.

A funeral service will be held at 2:30 pm on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at Maryfield Associated Gospel Church. A graveside burial will follow at Maryfield Cemetery. A reception will follow at the Maryfield Auditorium.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Kenosee Lake Bible Camp.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the staff at Rideau Park Personal Care Home for the exceptional care, kindness, and compassion they showed Dora. We truly appreciate everything they did to make her time there comfortable and to support our family along the way.
