Douglas Alan Jolliffe
May 3, 1954 – Feb. 28, 2026



Reminded of our own mortality, we bid farewell to our brother, Doug.
Predeceased by his parents Ken and Anne, a brother Russel and a sister Lorayne, Doug is survived by two siblings, Neil Jolliffe of Vernon, B.C., and Connie VanderBaaren of Rocky Mountain House, Alta.

Although he lived in many places, Doug was pleased to call Rocky Mountain House home for a good portion of his life and he greatly treasured the friendships he formed here. It was to assume the management of the swimming pool that initially landed Doug in Rocky, and he did this job for almost a decade.

Multiple health issues have ceased to be a problem for Doug and he is now free and at peace.
