Doris June Friend

Doris June Friend, affectionately known as "Grandma Friend" to everyone, passed into the arms of her Lord and Savior, on August 25, 2025, surrounded by her family.

A graveside service will be held at 1 PM on Tuesday, September 2, 2025 at Grace Hill Cemetery Pavilion.

Doris was born on January 3, 1937 in Orlando, Oklahoma to Herb and Opal (Gouch) Dahl. Doris attended grade school in Orlando and graduated from Perry School. She married Ronald Friend on November 24, 1954 at the First Christian Church in Perry, Oklahoma. To this union they were blessed with 5 precious children. Doris and Ronnie lived in Wewoka, Oklahoma before moving back to Perry in 2003. Doris enjoyed spending time on the farm raising cattle, riding four wheelers, and spending time with her family. Doris was especially gifted at sewing and quilting, often making special pieces for her family and close friends. Doris worked hard right alongside her husband on their family farm and reaped the many blessings of their efforts. Doris and Ronnie traveled to many special places together and enjoyed a full and happy life at each other's side. A piece of Doris passed away when Ronnie unexpectedly died on August 5, 2005. We find peace knowing that they are reunited and rejoicing together in Heaven. Doris' love for her family was boundless, and she will be forever cherished.
