She was a great sisters-in-law and smart as they come. Doris was one of a kind. She would be a mother one minute and an educator the next minute. She was a brilliant woman who wanted to live till she turned 90 on September 2nd. Unfortunately she didn’t make it she passed away on August 27th. She was a wonderful mother, grandmother, and a wonderful educator. What more can I say.
