Doris loved to garden. She loved all the work involved, taking great pleasure in planting, cultivating, harvesting, and even pulling weeds. She worked tirelessly to preserve the food she grew and hated for anything to go to waste. She loved watching the birds, especially her hummingbirds. She loved making quilts, and spent her winters with her quilting frame, creating masterpieces one tiny stitch at a time.
She was a great planner and organizer. She wrote and produced many skits for church programs and helped to organize many church activities. She loved planning and preparing meals for family gatherings and did not want any help preparing food for those huge meals.
Doris was a willing worker, and a caring friend to everyone she met. Her greatest desire was that others and especially her family would know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. She is greatly loved and will be greatly missed.
