Doris Conway Obituary
Granville - Doris Jane Conway, of Granville, OH passed away on Thursday, August 23, 2018 at Kendal at Granville. Doris Jane was a retired management consultant and facilitator with the State of Minnesota. She spent much of her working life engaged in community and human development through the Ecumenical Institute and Institute of Cultural Affairs, based in Chicago, IL.

Doris Jane enjoyed singing and all kinds of music, particularly folk and bluegrass, and she played the piano and dulcimer. She was an avid reader and upon retirement also spent time writing and participating in writing groups. Doris Jane was a member of the United Church of Granville and formerly the North United Methodist Church in Indianapolis, Indiana. As member of different churches during her life Doris Jane led Sunday School, taught bible studies and book groups, and engaged in making the churches welcoming and supportive.
Surviving are her daughter and son-in-law, Jessica Rettig and Geoffrey Smith; son and daughter-in-law, Dirk and Krista Rettig; grandchildren, Wesley and Logan Smith, and Pavel and Liesel Rettig; brother and sister-in-law, J. Michael and Marcia Conway; sister, Kathleen Conway; and special friend, Richard Hunter.

Dear Mike and Kathy,
I am sorry to hear of the death of your sister. You and your families are in my prayers.
My mother, Frances, passed away in 2007 at the age of 102. I still have the big "pill shelf" from your dad's office in our home here in Irvington. May Doris rest in peace.
Sincerely,
Stephenie Tschida Paquette
