Doris was a dear friend of mine in high school, along with Carolyn another friend of our. We were always doing things together. We lost track of each other when we grew older and went our own way. I have always thought about her and how much fun we had in high school.

I also worked with Doris at Honeywell. She was the sweetest lady and had the sweetest tone to her voice even when life at Honeywell was hectic. She was always such a pleasure to work with and always would greet you with a smile. The world has definitely lost a sweet treasure. I feel very fortunate to have known her. My deepest thoughts and prayers are with each of you today and in the future during this time of great loss.

I worked with Doris at the Tech Center. Doris was loved by many. One thing I especially remember about Doris was that she loved her family. We always exchanged stories and laughs together about our families. She'll be missed here by many but always remembered. I know she loved the Lord and is resting at peace now with Him. My deepest sympanthies to her family.

Please accept my deepest sympathy. I am one of many admins who worked with Doris. She was a joy to know and I feel privileged to have had her as a friend and coworker. She spoke of her family often and loved to talk about her decoys and old telephones. She was a lifesaver to so many of us here at Honeywell when there were special meetings to organize. She was always there to hold our hands whenever we needed.
A very special lady.

I had the priviledge of working with Doris for 4 years. Although we never met in person and we worked together "remotely", she was a wonderful person in many ways, always professional and always positive and happy. My thoughts are with her family. God bless.
