A kind person to everyone she met, Doris' greatest joy came from her family, especially her grandsons. Passionate about art, literature, and classical music, her intellectual curiosity and artistic ability led her to create poems, paintings, and sculptures, winning a prize for one of her poems. A survivor of the Holocaust, Doris was devoted to Judaism and the State of Israel. She was dearly loved and will be missed by all who knew her.
