Doris lived with her son Robert, Steve, and grandson Jaden. She loved fishing with her family in her younger years as well as having family come for the holidays so she could cook and entertain. She loved to play poker after the holiday meals or any other time family could gather at her home. She loved to sew. She also enjoyed feeding the birds and especially loved Cardinals. She was Baptized as a Baptist and although she had not gone to church for many years, she never lost her faith in the Lord. She was a woman of many talents and had various jobs over the years. Her last employment was at McDonalds as a cashier and so loved her job. She will be sorely missed by those of us who knew and loved her.
