Doris Repta Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Doris was born March 29, 1930 to Albert and Mable (Arndt) Steinke in Wisconsin Rapids, WI.
Doris attended Lincoln High School and graduated in 1948. Upon Graduation, she took a job at Consolidated Papers, Inc. in Wisconsin Rapids, WI, where she worked until she married.
While at the mill, Doris met her future husband, Jerry Repta and they were united in marriage on May, 18, 1950. They had three daughters: Linda, Jane, and Mary and nearly 70 years of wonderful memories.
Doris loved her family, and loved caring for the animals that she and Jerry had on their hobby farm for several decades, especially the chickens, rabbits, and cats.
Doris is preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Jerry; her brother, William; and her sister, Jan. She is further preceded in death by her grandson, Jay Johnson, son in law, David Kommer, and several aunts, uncles, in-laws, cousins, and friends.
She is survived by her daughters, Linda (Tim Carrick) Repta-Kennedy of Okeechobee, FL, Jane Kommer, and Mary (John) Gavinski, all of Wisconsin Rapids, WI; her granddaughter, Sara (Jason) Hanstedt of Sobieski, WI; her grandsons, Kevin (Denise) Johnson of Lytton Springs, TX and Michael Kommer of Wisconsin Rapids, WI. She is further survived by her great-grandson, Oliver Hanstedt; and many extended family members, and friends.
As were Doris' wishes, there will be no public visitation or services. Herman-Taylor Funeral Home is honored to be assisting Doris' family.
The family would like to thank Riverview Hospital and Edgewater Haven for their great care over her last few weeks.
