Doris Patrick

She was a hard working woman and retired from Tappan Company and had previously worked at Mansfield Tire and Rubber Co. She was a member of Real Life Community Church where she volunteered as greeter, Sunday School teacher, and served on several committees. Doris was a very well-loved lady, always willing to lend a helping hand wherever needed. She was very giving of her time and talent, and enjoyed making quilts, sewing and reading. Her children will remember her fondly as a loving, caring mother.
