A Book of Remembrance

Doreen

Doreen Keane

In loving and fondest memory of Doreen Keane.

Doreen Keane was a very loved and popular member of staff at Anchor.  She worked with Anchor from the early days, until the day she sadly passed away on 22nd May 2023.  She made it her mission, to get to know the children, staff, foster parents and other stakeholders at Anchor and her heart just grew to accomodate everyone.

She touched everyone’s lives in way or another and this memory book is here for you to post your thoughts, condolences and memories of our dearest ‘Doreen’.

When you post, please add your name and how you knew Doreen as we would like to share this book with Doreen’s family.  We hope that this will give some comfort to them and confirm what a truly wonderful person she was.

 

Thank you, for taking the time to contribute to this book of memories.

We first met Doreen and family when we went to St David’s in 1988. She organised a coffee morning so Denise could meet people as she did not know anyone. Denise mentioned fostering to Doreen one day and next day we had forms through the door to join Anchor. That’s how we joined Anchor …

Joining Anchor, apart from Alistair, Doreen was the first person I met in Gillingham and my host for the day. Always a pleasure to hear her answering your call and if it had been a while, having a bit of a catch-up. A gem who will be missed and always remembered. …

Doreen, I enjoyed our chats, you were always so helpful and made me laugh, I especially valued our shared love of naughty Jack Russell’s, that in itself told me what a special person you were!

When I first joined Anchor, Doreen told me she was like the stick of rock at Anchor and had been here from the start, she also said that Anchor was  part of her family, and it goes right through her bones. I could see that Doreen loved her work here as she made life …

My first role at Anchor was working alongside Doreen.  I had never worked in placements, so was naturally nervous and a little bit anxious.  Doreen welcomed me with open arms, I remember her kindness and generosity in those early days.  This is something Doreen demonstrated on a daily basis, not just to me but …
