to her heart so well, filling any room she entered with joy and comfort,

and caring deeply for those around her. Doris could always be relied on

for remembering your special occasion, sharing stories of fond

memories as if they happened yesterday, and making the best cinnamon

rolls or strawberry preserves you ever tasted. She was beloved by all

who knew her and will be greatly missed.​
