Doris Boyson Obituary
She was born on Thursday, June 10, 1926 in Chicago, Illinois to Charles and Sarah (Espenship) Gelet. She moved to Norristown, Pennsylvania when she was 18 months old and remained there throughout her childhood, graduating from high school in 1944. After she graduated, she entered the Cadet Nurse Corps Program at Abington Memorial Hospital in Abington, Pennsylvania where she received her registration in nursing.
She worked as a Registered Nurse for more than 45 years before her retirement. She worked in a variety of settings, most notably, the Neuro Floor, Rehab Floor, and Skilled Nursing. She passed away at the same nursing home she worked in many years ago. Doris married Robert E Boyson in 1945 and they had two children, Carol L. Paschal of Sacramento, California and Barry L. Boyson of Douglas, Wyoming.
Doris touched the lives of countless people throughout her nursing career. She was a volunteer at Wyoming Medical Center for many years before moving to Douglas, where she also participated in volunteering at Memorial Hospital of Converse County. She was very involved in the congregation at the Congregational United Church of Christ in both Casper and Douglas. Doris was a caretaker at heart and maintained this lifestyle until she could no longer do it.
Doris was preceded in death by her parents and her husband.
She is survived by her two children; grandchildren, Jena (Jason) Honor, Terra (Brian) Wreschinksy, Ryan (Cara) Paschal, Reagan (Justin) Scott, and Dustin (Jennifer) Boyson; as well as great-grandchildren: Dylan, Tanner, Elaine, Brooke, Cody, Lucy, Jordynn, Josslyn, Layne, Dalyla, Logan, Teigen and Kennedy.
A memorial will be performed Sunday, January 12, 2025 during the 10:00 A.M. church service at the Congregational United Church of Christ, 405 North Sixth Street, Douglas, Wyoming 82633 with reception to follow.
The Gorman Funeral Homes-Converse Chapel of Douglas, Wyoming is in charge of the arrangements.
