Doris Jean McQuillin

Doris Jean (Greene) McQuillin, age 87, died Sept 11,2024 in Whitewater, Wisconsin.
She was born June 11,1937 in Hayward Wisconsin, the daughter of Melvin and Anna Greene. Doris graduated from Hayward High School in 1955. Doris was awarded a full scholarship to UW Whitewater, where she pursued a BS degree in education, graduated in 1959 and eventually earned a master's degree in education. Doris began her teaching career in Roscoe, Illinois, eventually teaching for 42 years in the Whitewater Unified School District. Doris had a passion for the education profession and enjoyed working with young children. She taught second grade at Washington Elementary in Whitewater for most of her career. Doris retired in 2003, having inspired and touched the lives of hundreds of students during her career. It was rare for Doris to go anywhere in Whitewater without her former students recognizing her and thanking her for having had such a positive impact on their lives. Doris enjoyed traveling and would spend most summers taking wonderful trips to all parts of the world.
She is survived by her brother Kenneth (Dianne) of Surprise, AZ as well as many nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her sister Evelyn Wingert, brother Melvin P. Greene, and sister Donna Paddock. She will be missed dearly by all who knew her. A very special thank you to the wonderful staff at Hearthstone Memory Care and Rainbow Hospice in Whitewater. The loving care they provided was deeply appreciated by Doris and her family. Per Doris's request, there will be no formal funeral services.
