While visiting Laura and Devan Wise in Lufkin, Texas, Doris passed away suddenly on Sunday, June 5, 2022, surrounded by her husband and loving family.

She had a huge heart that led her in acts of service. Doris had talents that allowed her to give back to her friends and community through her craft abilities. She sewed and crocheted for her family, friends, church friends, and others in need. She also dedicated her time with a mission to the border homeless shelters and Haitian orphanages. Her happy place was her sewing room, as well as, traveling to help her daughters create vintage dresses and fill their home with various home-made items.

Doris walked as a devoted Christian throughout her life. Doris expressed her faith while serving various committees at First Evangelical Lutheran Church, including being treasurer for many years.
