Doris was raised in sight of a beautiful mountain view and truly enjoyed country living. She found a day fishing by the bank quite relaxing. She was a gracious host, preparing Sunday dinners for family, and baking with her grandchildren, Brenden and Sawyer. She was an avid reader who loved a good page turner. Doris adored fresh flowers, with lilacs being her favorite. She was quite lucky at bingo and liked to play whenever she could. Doris was determined, a survivor, persevering through tough situations, and a fierce protector of all of her loved ones. Doris’ strong faith was to be admired. Doris was a lovely lady who was one hundred percent devoted to her family, grateful every day to be a Grandma that loved her grandchildren with all her heart.
