She was a very sweet lady. I’ll miss her.
Doris, yours was a life well-lived. A good friend, good mother, hard worker, caregiver and volunteer…even a Red Hat lady. You had lots of friends and extended family that loved you dearly and feel blessed you have been a part of our lives. Now you are in God’s hands but you will live in our hearts forever. Love, Ginger
Our times of fun working together and going to Thomas Fitzgerald Home will never be forgotten. Enjoy meeting all your friends in heaven. You deserve the best.
To Doris’s family – I am sorry for your loss and pray for you. Dewy and Amy (Hammer) Parks baby sat me when I was about 15 months old while my Mom (Hattie Hammer) was in the hospital when my sister (Elizabeth) was born on May 6, 1945. My Mom also had surgery so I likely was there for 1-2 months. Doris always reminded me of that time as I was not old enough to remember. My Dad was Roger Hammer
