Doris worked at Caterpillar, retiring in 1983. After retirement, she and Lenord moved to Patoka, later moving to Eureka to be closer to family.

Doris was a generous, kind and loving person who loved nothing more than spending time with her family. She enjoyed helping others in her community, gardening, reading, needlework, traveling, and winters in Florida in her younger years. Lenord and Doris hosted fish fry gatherings for family and friends for many years. They loved having their grandchildren come to stay for extended summer visits, enjoying the country lifestyle. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Her family would like to express their deepest gratitude to the staff of the Apostolic Christian Home of Roanoke for their loving care.

For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest. A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to build up. A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance. ~Ecclesiastes 3:1-4

A private family service will be held at a later date. Argo-Ruestman-Harris Funeral Home will be handling arrangements.
