Doris Birchard Obituary
Doris Louise Carle Birchard
of Alabama
Doris Louise Carle Birchard, 86, passed away on Tuesday, August 26, 2008, in Thrall, Texas. Doris was born on July 9, 1922 in Johnson City, New York to Mabel Mooney and George Carle. Doris's lifetime career was foster and family care. Her passions were love of family, friends, music, camping, stories, church, nature and her Red Hat friendships. She shared her gift of love and laughter throughout her life; to know Doris was to be touched by the kindness and caring of an angel. Doris is survived by her children, Gary Birchard, Kaye Perry, Mark and Daisy Birchard, Diana and Les Clark; grandchildren, David Birchard, Samantha, Michaela and Montgomery Birchard, Don and Stephanie Clark; great-grandson, Tyler Clark; her sister, Joanne Dirlam; and her loving nieces and nephews. Doris was preceded in death by her husband of 65 years, Eldred Birchard.
There will be a Celebration of Life Service at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to a Hospice in your area.

Mark, Gary & Diane: We are so sorry to hear of Doris' passing. Doris was such a loving, kind sweet lady with such a delightful sense of humor. We will always remember her. She will be so missed. We spent so many wonderful years with her & Curley camping, especially Lake Timberline. We had so much fun laughing together and just having a good time. We will always have such fond memories of our time spent together.

Mark & Family - we were so saddened to hear of your Mom's passing. We have such wonderful memories of camping at Timberline and out behind our house in Clifton Springs over the years. Both your parents were great people and we sure had many laughs at all of the antics that went on during our camping days. Just want to let you know that we are thinking of you all. Rick and Joi also send their condolences. If you ever get to Florida please look us up. We would love to see you.

Mary and I send our condolences and prayers. May God provide you with solace. I think of you all so often. Especially when I drive past Box #48 Taft Ave, or whatever they call it now. We were running back and forth to Ithaca all last weekend and went by several times. With all the changes in the area, and all the built-up-ed-ness. The storm door with the horse inset is still on the house. It gives me a warm feeling and thoughts of Aunt Doris and Uncle Curly, Gary, Diane, and Mark.
Our Prayers are with you,
Don and Mary O'Dell

Your parents were wonderful people and will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers and with you and your family at this difficult time. Take care and let our family know if you need anything.
