Doris Irene Wilson, our mom, grandma, great grandma, and friend passed away peacefully at her home on Monday, November 12, 2018. She was 87 years old. Born in Kansas on April 8, 1931 to Sam and Goldie Benedict, she lived most of her life in California on the Balboa Peninsula with her husband of 59 years, Roy. Doris loved to travel, the joy of gift giving, and holidays spent with loved ones. Her home was open to everyone, and the pantry always full, much like her heart. Doris was devoted to her family and loved nothing more than a home full of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Roy, her son-in-law, Tony, daughter-in-law Debi, and great-grandson August. She leaves behind her children and their spouses, Bob and Roberta, Tom, Nancy, Don and Becky, and Jim and Annette; eleven grandchildren and six great grandchildren; and devoted caregiver, Tom. She is at peace now, and will be missed by all that knew her.
