Doris was most passionate in life about her family and her faith. She was a member of First United Methodist Church in Lombard, Illinois where she served as a Sunday School Teacher. Years later, she joined United Methodist Church of the Shepherd where she served as a Lay Minister who visited shut-ins and provided communion for them.

Her presence will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
