Doris was a wonderful Mother to Debra (Williamson) and Donna (Csutoros), and was always a joy to be around, with a positive attitude and a smile for everyone, living life to the fullest. She had a passion for dancing whether it be out for a night with her husband, or later in life in the senior communities she was part of in NJ and Las Vegas, dancing right up until October of this year. Doris looked forward to parties and getting together with her friends at Carefree Living and then at Oakmont of West Las Vegas, and was loved by everyone who came into her life.
