DORIS KLOSS

I just found out yesterday that Doris died. Aunt Doris, as we called her, was a very special person to me. She is the one I credit with my love of reading. She always gave me and my sister a book for our birthday and Christmas through my entire childhood. Her presents were always my favorite, and I attribute my passion for books to her. We shared that passion. When I was about 9 or 10 I remember her telling my mother she read a 600 page book. I was in awe. Now whenever I read a long...

Aunt Doris, as we called her, is the person who introduced me to my passion for books. Every birthday and Christmas for my entire childhood I would receive a book from her. Her presents were always my favorite. I must have been 9 or 10 when she told me she had just read a 700 page book. I was in awe of her. Now whenever I read a long book I think "this is an Aunt Doris book." Both she and Uncle Bob had a big impact on me and my brothers and sisters. A great person

Doris always had a kind word for everyone. She wouldn't pass any of us without stopping to say hello or ask about our family. You will be missed

My heart felt sympathy goes out to all who loved Doris the way her Walmart family did. Doris was an inspiration to me working at the age she did. She said "hello" to me and talked briefly everyday I worked as she did with so many other Walmart associates. I can still see her walking back in forth in the store in my memory and I am saddened by her passing. As one associate said, "god needed a flower and he picked it," and they were right. Sincere sympathy and may she rest in peace.
