She was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. After she and Ralph were married, they made their home in Denver until moving the family to Mountain Grove, Missouri, in 1966. Doris was devoted to the Lord. Her husband and children were her vocation. She lovingly cared for and nurtured her family instilling faith, Christian values and integrity. Throughout her life, numerous family and friends were welcomed to their home and cared for as part of the family.
Doris joined the Catholic Church when she and Ralph married. She was a longtime member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church where she had been involved in the Women’s Auxiliary.
In her spare time she enjoyed sewing, crocheting, and doing ceramics. She also liked working in her garden and growing beautiful flowers. Her family was very dear to her and she especially enjoyed having time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Doris was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and know that her family and friends will cherish the wonderful memories she created for them during her eighty-one years.
