Doris was a member of the Zoar Presbyterian Church in rural George, Iowa. She enjoyed helping her husband Glenn with the farming. Doris had a passion for antiques and could often be found at auctions, rummage sales, and consignment shops securing her latest find. She loved to dance, enjoying polka fests and Sunday morning waltzes around the dining room. She was a formidable pinochle opponent, loved to travel, and had a gift for meeting new people and starting conversations. She had a warm smile and an infectious laugh. She will be greatly missed.
