Doris Milne Obituary
She was born Feb. 21, 1921, in Maynard, Mass., the only child of Kathryn (McCormack) and George White. After graduating from Regis College, she moved to Contoocook to teach Latin and English, and coach the women's basketball team at Hopkinton High School where she met her husband of 61 years, William H. Milne. Retuning to substitute teaching in the 1970s she was dubbed the "super sub" of Hopkinton High School. Many of her students from high school have stayed in touch with her throughout her entire life. Doris had the gift to connect with her students.
She is survived by her husband, William, of Littleton, N.H.; a daughter, Kathryn Teamer, and her husband, Matthew, of Lancaster; three sons, William Jr. and his wife, Kate, of Barrington; Robert and his wife, Laurie, of Steamboat, Colo.; and Jonathan and Cindy of Newmarket; and seven grandchildren, Zachary and Katryn Treamer; Jonathan and Patrick Milne; Indigo, Oriah and William Milne III.
Doris enjoyed camping, gardening, reading, crafts and spending time with her grandchildren. She was also a life-long Red Sox and Bruin's fan. She was a loving mother, grandmother and wife. Doris was a devoted Catholic and only until her health began to fail, did she ever miss Sunday Mass. Doris was loved by her family and friends. With an easy going disposition, she made everyone around her feel special. Her Thanksgiving meals were something to look forward to. Doris led a good life of 91 years and will be missed.
Visiting hours will be held Tuesday, Oct. 9, from 4 to 7 p.m. at The Bennett Funeral Home 209 N. Main St., Concord. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 am Wednesday at Christ the King Parish, St. John the Evangelist Church, 72 S. Main St, Concord. Burial will follow at the Contoocook Village Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Doris's name to the Friends of the Hopkinton Town Library, 61 Houston Drive, Contoocook, N.H. 03229.

It is hard to forget Doris White Milne while in her teaching years of 1947-52 as she was our teacher and my basketball coach. I was a cut-up and always being sent to the pricipal's office but one day she "got to me" with her advice that people were laughing"at" me, not "with" me and there was a difference. I never forgot it and eventually settled down. We have kept in touch through the years and will be in our thoughts along with Bill Milne our later pricipal. Our best...Mary-Jane and Bill Sterling
