'WOW' - Woman Of Worship and overflowing with passion for her community, Doris spoke softly but powerfully about issues impacting education, families, youth, and seniors. I was blessed to serve with her on the Lansing Juneteenth Celebration Committee for several years and will always remember her for generously sharing her physical, spiritual, and creative resources with a smile. Doris' magnanimous quality of volunteerism will always remain with me along with my fond memories of sharing a chuckle or two about our love for hats! May you - family - also be uplifted and encouraged with all of the rich, loving memories you created with Doris. God Bless and Keep You!
