Doris ANTCZAK Obituary
Doris was an active member of Zion United Methodist Church, Seaford, where she served on almost every committee, including a term as Chairman of the Board of Directors. She traveled extensively alongside her husband, Michael, during his enlistment in the U.S. Navy. Doris never met a person with whom she couldn't have a conversation. She also loved breeding and showing Basset hounds and was very devoted to them.
She is survived by her loving husband of 60 years, Michael J. Antczak; her son, David Michael Antczak, of Greensboro, N.C.; and her daughter, Michaelene Antczak Fortner, of Gloucester, Va. She also leaves behind many friends to cherish her memory.
A service of remembrance will be held at Zion United Methodist Church, 2109 Seaford Rd., Seaford, VA 23696, at 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 8. A private interment will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial contributions be made to the Zion United Methodist Church Building Fund (address above). Online condolences may be expressed at www.nelsencares.com. View and post condolences on our online guestbook at dailypress.com/guestbooks.

This wonderful lady resides in Heaven now. She was a true Angel of Mercy and helped so many people as a volunteer with United Way Helpline, and as a member of the community. We miss her greatly, and she will live on in our memories and our hearts.

Dear Mike & Family:
I will always remember Doris for her sense of humor. She was quick to answer. We all had some good times having dinner at IHOP in Wmsbg. We've now lost 4 of the 8 of us. God be with you Mike in the months ahead. This will be the hardest time of your life. With the help of God, you'll get thru. You and your family are in my prayers. God give you peace and strength during this time of grieving.
Love, Karen Dutton, Norge, Va.

We are so sorry to hear about Doris. We met her back in 1992 when we purchased Spicey, our last Basset Hound, from her. Doris was such a nice lady and we remember that she hated to see Spicey go. She took a video of us and Spicey as we were leaving. We promised to give her a good home and we certainly did. Our prayers are with her family at this time.

Mike and family,
My heart is heavy at the loss of a dear friend. I will always remember Doris as "Volunteer Extraordinaire" a dedicated loyal volunteer for many years with The Salvation Army, United Way, the PGA and LPGA Tournaments. Her desire to help others and her great since of humor and antics will never be forgotten.

Dear Family:
I was but a few minutes down the road at my church Saturday when the accident occurred. While I did not know Ms. Antczak, I have developed a strong concern for her, you and the circumstances involved. I am praying for your comfort during this time of grief. Stand in peace knowing that God has a plan and a purpose for all He does of which we are not privy to. We can only stand on the promises He speaks to us and live in the faith of the trust we have for Him in our hearts. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Doris was such a bright light for us all. I met her a few years ago when she was in Physical therapy. She had such a sharp wit and always made me feel better when I saw her. I will miss her terribly as will so many of us that knew her.
