Some of her favorite things were dancing with Dad, being with family, spending time with grandchildren and great grandchildren, holidays, family get-togethers, travel, and shopping, and she very rarely missed attending her grandchildren’s recitals, plays, concerts, sports events, and graduations. Doris lived her life with the values of giving, compassion, and love. She believed that family is first and valued her friendships.
