Doris and my mom, Madeline, had so much fun and raised a bit of hell in their younger days! I remember her fondly, she was so sweet and had the best laugh! I extend my deep sympathy to all that she means so much to. I've experienced many losses in the past few years, I know how hard it can be, and how your heart aches. You are in my thoughts.

To Doris's Family, I am so sorry to hear of her passing. She was a lovely woman. She enjoyed helping at our church functions. And such a friend to so many. She was helpful with my Mom in later years as a caregiver and also Bruce's Aunt Mert. She loved her dearly. God Bless you Doris. I will miss you too.
Sincere Sympathy,
