Doris was a wonderful person. She,was my babysitter when I was young. A fellow educator and friend later in life. We grew up together on Green Garden. She will be missed but will keep Heaven hopping.
So very sorry 🥲to hear this -Doris was one of the teachers in my building – at Racxoon Elementary. Here is one of the sweet stories , of many, about her and her kids : We had a stray cat that visited everyday at the back door near her classroom. …. Usually on the morning and at dismissal time . She and her kiddos kind of adopted it and took good care of that little furry creature. ❤️
She was outstanding ! She was also a wonderful person and friend . My condolences are extended to her daughters and families . RIP Doris .

My mom is now finally reunited with her true love my dad. I think this should have been mentioned during her funeral but unfortunately Susan didn’t feel that was something to mention to the pastor that conducted the service that never met my mom.
