Doris Pauline (Polly) Willis

April 15, 1939 – November 1, 2013

Polly was born in Lyndon, Kansas to Dorothy and Judson Goldsmith where the family farmed until moving to Colorado Springs when she was 5. Polly graduated in 1957 from Palmer High School where she met George T. (Doc) Willis. The high school sweethearts married on August 24, 1958.

She was preceded in death by her mother Dorothy Bulmer and father Judson Goldsmith. She is survived by husband Doc, sons Bill and Mike, daughter Wendy, their spouses and six grandchildren.

Polly enjoyed the Colorado outdoors with family while camping, fishing and horseback riding. She and Doc resided in Colorado Springs until 2002 when they moved to Highlands Ranch to be near their family. Polly loved being with her family, especially her grandchildren whom she dearly loved.

Although diagnosed with MS in 1982, she remained active with family and friends while maintaining her upbeat, outgoing and positive personality. She never complained and was perpetually happy. She was a tremendous wife, mother and grandmother who will surely be missed by all who knew her and loved her.
