Doris Cloutier Cordrey, age 94, passed away peacefully on October 15, 2025 at Alpine Nursing and Rehabilitation, surrounded by three generations of loved ones. She was born January 1, 1931 in Lowell, Massachusetts - the daughter of the late Mary Jane Cloutier. Also preceding her in death are her beloved husband of 71 years, Harry Alvin Cordrey, and her son, Harry Cordrey Jr.

Doris leaves behind a legacy of faith, love, and quiet strength. Foremost in her life was her devotion to serving Jehovah God faithfully, as she committed herself wholeheartedly to teaching and living the truths of the Bible to others.

In addition to her spiritual pursuits, Doris found joy in family, hobbies, & the simple things of life. She tended a vibrant and diverse garden, loved to golf with her husband and friends, and her background in competitive archery made for exciting storytelling. She enjoyed birdwatching, particularly their beauty and songs.

She was a loving wife and devoted homemaker, affectionately known as "Pear" to her husband and "Mom Mom" to her grandchildren, all whom she cared for warmly. Her home was immaculately kept & she expressed her love through home cooked meals, bear hugs, and big smiles. Though reserved in nature, she also had a sense of humor & a steadiness about her that made life better for anyone who knew her. Doris led her life with kindness, unwavering faith, & care for her loved ones. Her memory will always serve as inspiration for others to do the same.

Left to cherish her memory are her children, Cynthia Greiman and husband Mike, Debbie Clarius, and Terry Cordrey and wife Marie; grandchildren, Jessica, Heather, Samantha, Mandy, Harry, Barbara, Aylissa, Tyler, Kayla, and Austin; 17 great grandchildren, 2 great-great grandchildren and more on the way; brother, George Menard; and numerous other beloved family and friends.

The family will hold a memorial service at the Randleman Kingdom Hall on November 1st, 2025.
