I had the pleasure of meeting Doris (known as Andy in our golf group) many years ago through the game of golf. We played together in a Tuesday evening golf league and on Saturday afternoons at the Sycamore Golf Course. She was so much fun to golf with and go out to dinner with. Her sense of humor was one of the best! She was a lovely person, kind, generous and a wonderful golfer! I miss those days. To her family I offer my condolences. She was quite a gal.
