Doris Irene Riedel, passed away on July 20th. She was 90 years old. Doris was preceded in death by her beloved husband Eugene Jr., and her daughter Diane. She is survived by her children Kurt (Claudia), Karl, and Marlene, and by her sister Mary Absi, as well as her three grandchildren and five great grandchildren.
Doris was born and raised in Detroit, where she spent her youth in the “Little Upper Peninsula section” of the city, and where she graduated from Central High School. After raising her four children, in 1987, she and her husband moved to Boyne City, where they made many friends and regularly attended Zion Lutheran Church. Following Eugene’s death in 2003, she moved back to the greater Detroit area, and spent her last years with her “people” at the Lake Orion Nursing and Rehab Facility. Doris was strongly devoted to her family, and even during the pandemic, kept in regular contact with weekly zoom calls to her children and grandchildren. She was also an ardent Red Wings fan, and one of her last requests was that “Yzerman, better get this draft right.”
A graveside service is pending. Please make any donations on her behalf to the Michigan Humane Society.
