I taught at Ruskin with Doris. She always had a smile and a kind, cheerful word for me. She was a blessing to me.

I worked with Doris at Ruskin elementary when she was a teacher there. She was so sweet. She always brought a smile along with her. And never complained and I don't remember her ever being out of sorts in any way. She was always so pleasant and soft-spoken. many of the other teachers from Ruskin remember similar fond memories of her. We will miss her.
