She was a passionate supporter of the arts and a lifelong lover of theater, often finding joy and inspiration in the stories told on stage. Doris proudly served as the archivist for Modell's Sporting Goods, the business her father, Henry Modell, founded. Doris was the founder of SERVE, a nonprofit advocacy organization dedicated to supporting veterans of the Vietnam War. Her commitment to justice and healing touched countless lives, reflecting the deep empathy that defined her. A breast cancer survivor for 68 years, Doris was a beacon of resilience and hope. Her courage and grace in the face of adversity served as an inspiration to all who knew her. Above all, Doris cherished her family. Her three surviving sons are Lewis (Sandi), Peter (Ruth), and Neil (Jill). Her grandchildren are Joseph (Ariana), Stuart (Jennifer), Rachel (Sami), Ross, Lindsey, and Austin; and her great-grandchildren: Gabby, Mo, Maya, and Noa.
