Doris Alice Margaret Schatz

I’ve lived a wonderful life, working at Slater Steel for 28 years. I enjoyed my retirement, but had many hurdles along the way. Having meningitis and losing my hearing, many operations to try to get my hearing back to no avail, oh well crap happens; I trekked on enjoying life deaf. Years later, lung cancer thought it would stop me, but I kicked it in its butt; I wasn’t going to let it win. It eventually caught up with me spreading to my brain; there was no winning this battle. A special thanks to Dr. Shelia Lamb and Dr. Pat Smith for your kindness and comfort on my cosmic journey, thank you MAID.

I will be reuniting with my many brothers; George Lawton and William (Bill) Lawton and sisters; Velma Robinson, Joan Start and Elaine Strang who are waiting for me with open arms, though I will be leaving behind my dearest youngest brother Jim Lawton.

I will deeply miss my wonderful children, Debbie (Albert) Nelson, Myra (Don) Friday, Mike (Alison) Schatz. My amazing grandchildren, Corey –My Rock, Brad (Katie) Nelson, Ashley (Mark) Fitzgerald, Jason (Diana) Friday, Adam (Sarah) Friday, William Friday, Matthew and Kyle Schatz. My little incredible charming great grandchildren know that GG will always be looking over you, making sure you’re ok. Margie my loving best-friend who has always been there for me, through the good times and bad times, you’ll be missed dearly. I will miss everyone, till we meet again,
