Doreen attended the school in Oak Hill and had worked in food service at Davis Medical Center. She loved her family more than anything and cherished friendships just as much. She enjoyed cooking for anyone that would sit with her and have a meal. She felt blessed to be the first to lend a hand to anyone in need and was a blessing to the entire community for her efforts. She enjoyed playing Bingo and Tips, and she lived a simple life appreciating all things great and small.
