All of her nieces and nephews childhood lives were enriched and broadened by her.She treated us as her own and attempted to fill our lives with culture and style. ....She swung and missed on a few of those .She put her all into life, classy and sassy .We love you Aunt Doris.

The beautiful spirit Aunt Doris shared with all of us will never be forgotten. She was not only physically lovely but the care and generosity she shared with everyone made her even more stunning. An amazing life lived by an amazing woman. All who knew her loved her and I am honored to have known and loved her.

Doris was a part of my life growing up. She was truly a wonderful person who cared more for others than herself. She will be missed. My prayers and love go out to the entire Rishty family.
