They also served as custodians at the Flanders Baptist Church from 1958 to 1974, where she was a member. Doris had lived independently for 99 1/2 years, and was excited to celebrate her 100th birthday in April.

Doris was predeceased by her husband Carl, sister Helen Ebersole, and brothers Paul, Howard, Cecil, Fred and John Brooks. She is survived by a niece Jacqueline Lamourine, and nephews Victor, William and Frederick Ebersole.
