Doris Lamb Friedel, 78, of Lockcrest Drive, Cincinnati, formerly of Williamstown, died at Hospice of Cincinnati on Feb. 9 from complications of Alzheimer's disease.
She spent her last year in the Alois Alzheimer Center in Cincinnati.
Born on April 13, 1925, in Williamstown, daughter of Carl and Marion Blair Lamb, she graduated from the former Williamstown High School in 1942 and earned a bachelor's degree from the school of science at Simmons College in Boston in 1947.
In 1956, Mrs. Friedel was a member of the Kett Corp. engineering team in Cincinnati that designed the engine inlet and nozzle for a nuclear-powered airplane. Kett was a subcontractor to General Electric, which had the prime contract.
The plane was never built because Congress terminated the project due to significant problems and higher costs.
Prior to her position at Kett, Mrs. Friedel was a research assistant at Yale University Medical School and at Cincinnati General Hospital.
She was also a bacteriologist at Camp Detrick, the Army Biological Warfare Research Center in Frederick, Md.
She and her husband, Al Friedel, were married in 1954 in El Paso, Texas. Together, they restored two prize-winning early Mustangs, a 1964 half-convertible and a 1970 Shelby GT 500 convertible, and competed across the country for authenticity and workmanship awards. They won more than 100 trophies.
She and her husband traveled extensively. She served as a Cub Scout den mother, a Girl Scout leader, a teacher's aide and a library aide. Active in the Northminster Presbyterian Church in Finneytown, Ohio, she sang in the choir, was a deacon, a trustee, Sunday school teacher, a vacation Bible school teacher and a member of the Women's Club. She also sang in the Cincinnati May Festival Choir.
Besides her husband of 49 years, she leaves a son, James Friedel of Cincinnati; two daughters, Barbara Welsh and Carolyn Schmidt, both of Cincinnati; a sister, Anne Tiffany of Williamstown and West Peabody, and five grandchildren.
FUNERAL NOTICE -- A memorial service will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 16, at Northminster Presbyterian Church, 703 Compton Road, Finneytown, Ohio. Burial will be at Oak Hill Cemetery, Springdale, Ohio.
Memorial donations may be made to Alois Alzheimer Center, 70 Damon Road, Cincinnati, OH 45218 or to Second Congregational Church, Williamstown.
