Doris was a very devoted Catholic and graduate of Holy Name of Mary High School in Algiers, Louisiana. After Graduation, Doris worked as a secretary for American Insurance Company.

She was preceded in death by her parents; sisters, Marguerite Mustacchia, Marilyn Edwards (Robert), Helen Schroeder (Alvin); and brothers, Nicholas Mustacchia, Jr. (Emily) and Ralph Mustacchia (Lorraine). Also preceded in death were here mother & father-in-law, Eura and Wallace Chapoton; sister-in-law, Marion Gremillion (Millard); and brother-in-law, Ronald Chapoton (Myra/Ruth).

Doris is survived by her husband of 64 years, Pat; son, Glenn (Leslie); godchild, Mari Beth Salley; and several nieces and nephews.

The family would like to recognize and thank all of the caretakers of Amada Senior Care and Foundations Hospice for their assistance this past year. Special thanks to Halie Moore, Kendra, Crystal, Ceola, Rachel, and MacKenna who always went above and beyond their call of duty.

Doris will be deeply missed by all who knew her but forever in the hearts she touched.
