Mary Lou Doppler

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our beloved mother, Mary Doppler,
who departed this world on August 30, 2024 at the age of 67, to embark on a new journey.
Surrounded by her cherished family, she found peace,
embracing her final moments with grace, strength, the warmth, and love that filled her life.
Her passion for giving to others, devotion to her family,
and unwavering spirit will be forever treasured.
Miss Mary, as she liked to be known, was born on April 19, 1957, in Bismarck, ND.
She was a Wife, Mother, and a Home Engineer who enjoyed thrift & discount shopping,
often using her bargain finds to help others through charities like women's shelters,
Shoebox Ministry, NextDoor, and donating to various schools.
She loved having meals out with friends and family,
her four kitties, coloring by number, and leisure phone games.
She would often watch romantic and funny movies with her husband,
and enjoyed listening to music and watching country music videos.
She was always able to tell you about current events,
what's going on around the valley, and what the weather would be like for the next week.
Before she had her surgeries for neck and back,
she quite enjoyed crafting home-made presents and sewing.
Our mom was full of love, laughter, and resilience,
leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her.
She could be lighthearted and loved to play jokes on family members,
but could easily become a courageous guardian who fiercely protected those she loved.
She was full of random wisdom and always said, "It's not Good-Bye, that means forever,"
instead she would tell all of us to say "Tah Tah For Now!"
She is survived by her husband, William (Bill) Doppler
