Doris (Pritchard) Romey, 98, of Fort Wayne, Indiana was carried home to the arms of Jesus on February 24, 2020. She was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana on April 21, 1921 to Herbert and Emma (Fildes) Pritchard. She married R. Dale Romey on April 24, 1943 and they spent over 75 years together as sweethearts.
Doris worked as a bookkeeper at Sears and Robuck and Lincoln Life, and worked at Maplewood Mennonite Preschool for several years. She was a member of Life Bridge Church and volunteered at Project Mercy. Doris served in almost every capacity in Sunday School departments until her late 80’s when she was physically unable to continue.
She devoted her life to following Jesus and was known for her sweet spirit and kindness toward others. Her greatest joy was in teaching, caring for, and protecting children.
Doris has left a deep impression and example for those she leaves behind including her three children Darwin (Jan) Romey, Dwight (Sue) Romey, and Donna (Mike) Cass. She also leaves behind 8 grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren with another on the way, and one great, great grandchild. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Dale Romey, and her parents.
