Doris (nee Cambell) Kobler, 96, on Monday, January 4, 2021. Beloved wife of the late Lester Kobler; loving mother of Susan (John) Pais; dear grandmother of Michelle Pais and Mark Pais; dear sister of Margaret (the late Gene) Eakes, and the late Virginia (Jim) Maule and James (Mary) Campbell; our dear aunt and friend to many.
Doris was the daughter of the late Archibald Campbell and Hallie (Townsend), and was born in Ironton Missouri. As a young woman, Doris moved to St. Louis where she met Lester at Shaw Avenue Methodist Church. They wed in 1954 and enjoyed over 56 years of marriage. The majority of her life she lived in Cool Valley and Ferguson Missouri where she was an active member of Ferguson Methodist Church for over 50 years and developed lifelong friends. Doris held a variety of clerical positions over the years including working for a railroad, bank, Pevely Dairy, Sears and finally Edison Brothers Shoe Company where she retired. Following retirement, Doris and Les enjoyed traveling to Europe, Canada and in the US with friends. One of the highlights of retirement life for Doris was becoming a Grandmother which was her favorite job! Always eager to babysit and host sleepovers, she and Les played an important role in the lives of their grandchildren. At age 90, she moved to Creve Coeur Assisted Living where she enjoyed her apartment and the social activities of the community.
