Doris Ricker Obituary
She served in the United States Navy from 1951 to 1954 and was the mother of three children. Jean was a longtime and beloved member of the Bolens Creek and greater Burnsville community. During the fifty years she lived on Larkspur Drive, she was known for her presence, practical kindness and care for others.
She helped three dear friends as they approached the end of their lives, offering companionship and support. Jean had a sharp wit and a wonderful sense of humor. She enjoyed hard work, hiking; especially to waterfalls and meals at Okie Dokies Smokehouse truck. Jean lived simply, worked hard and cared deeply for those around her. She was loved by many and will be greatly missed.
At the request of Doris, no services are planned at this time.
