Anyone who knew Doris could attest to her love of sunshine and the outdoors. She enjoyed camping with Dave out in God's creation and relished the quiet peace that only comes to a soul with a rod and reel in hand. The owner of a green thumb, she spent countless hours tending to her garden, which was a source of both satisfaction and pride. On those rare occasions that found her inside, she almost always had the television set to the Hallmark Channel. Though her family will forever remember Doris as "the boss", she was, by all accounts, fun! Few things brought more life to her living than making others laugh, and we will forever miss that unique joy that radiated throughout her 81 years. She will never and can never be forgotten. As per her request, Doris will be cremated without a public service. The Goodwine Funeral Home in Robinson is in charge of arrangements.
