She was a constant source of encouragement, wisdom, and unconditional love, and her family will forever treasure the memories they shared with her.

She taught Sunday school, sang in the church choir, and devoted countless hours to organizing wedding and baby showers for fellow church members. Her servant's heart, generosity, and dedication helped create a welcoming and caring church family for so many.
Professionally, Doris worked as an Accounting Manager at Contractor Supply for 34 years before retiring. She was respected for her diligence, professionalism, and strong work ethic throughout her career.
