Montana Avenue, in Caldwell at 12:00 noon. Doris was born September 1, 1925 at Coloyne, South Dakota, the daughter of Jay and Martha Brown. The family moved to Nebraska and it was there that she met and married Art Randall on August 6, 1943 in Valentine. They came to Caldwell in 1945 where they raised their family of four children, Karen, Wayne, Dave and Keith. After the children were old enough to attend school, Doris began working at Caldwell Care Center and after 28 years, retired as the office manager there. Doris was a devoted wife to her husband, Art who passed away May 31, 1983. She was also a devoted mother, grandmother and great grandmother who never passed up the opportunity to tell about all the good things happening in her children's, grandchildren's and great grandchildren's lives. She was very proud of them all. Doris loved to garden, do arts and crafts, quilting with her fellow church members and kept an impeccable yard and home. She enjoyed traveling and was able to visit both domestic and international destinations. She also had a love for her many beloved pets including Susie, Ozzie and Miss Bib. She was an Auxiliary volunteer at West Valley Medical Center and was a hospice volunteer for Four Rivers Hospice for fifteen years. Doris was an active member of Faith Lutheran Church since its founding in 1957. Doris is survived by her children, Karen Zane, Wayne (Jean) Randall, Dave (Theresa) Randall and Keith (Nancy) Randall; 9 grandchildren, Eric, Pamela, Mark, Vicki, Kristina, Laura, Kelly, Erin and Lindsay and eleven great grandchildren. In addition to Art, she was preceded in death by a brother, Morris, a sister, Elsie and a great grandson, Carter Mullen. In lieu of flowers, her family requests memorial contributions are made to Pet Haven or the Canyon County Animal Shelter. The family would like to thank Autumn Winds Assisted Living for all of their kindness and support. Memories and condolences may be submitted to her online tribute at www.dakanfuneralchapel.com

In all probability, one of the finest individuals one could ever meet throughout life’s journey!

For all those years I knew her, Doris compassionately treated me with love, honor and respect. She lived a long and prosperous life, always careful to nurture her family’s mutual lives into meaningful and joyful experiences.

“I have this feeling there's one more star up in the sky tonight. And even though it's far away, its brightness and warmth still reach us here to make the night a little less dark.”

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Doris! Go with God and say “Hi” to Art and Gerry for us.

To The Doris Family.
I was Doris' nurse the last two days she was in the hospital. I knew her time was short, as did she. When she was leaving to go back to Autumn Winds she thanked me for taking care of her. I assured her that she had been no problem and that I would miss her. Your mom was a very gentle and polite woman even when she was struggling with back pain. I will never forget her. What a woman of grace! T. Pline Nampa Id
