In Loving Memory of Doris Loraine Dalton

Doris Loraine Dalton, age 89, was born on January 23, 1936 in California. She was the beloved daughter of the late Arthur and Alma Sizer. Doris had a deep passion for horses and devoted many years of her life working at Cloud 9 in Missouri, where she lovingly cared for them. Her dedication and gentle spirit were evident in everything she did.

Along with her parents, Doris was preceded in death by her husband, Arthur J. Dalton; her daughter, Carol Faye Buchanan; and her sisters, Polly Smith and Betty Rubrecht. She is survived by her children: daughters Diana Carter (Kenny) and Debbie Keyes (Larry), and her son Steve Dalton (late Judi). She also leaves behind her cherished grandchildren: Teresa Modglin (Kelly), Kara Rajlich (Paul), Kenny Carter (Kelly), William Thompson, Tiffany Buchanan, Brittany Buchanan, and Kelly Wooten (David), as well as nine great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.

Doris was deeply loved by her family and will always be in our hearts.
