Doris Marie Harvey Tiffany

She was born on May 8, 1939, in Oneonta, a daughter of the late Ken and Marie (Leonard) Harvey. Doris grew up in Oneonta and attended Oneonta schools. On Dec. 29, 1956, Doris married Jack M. Tiffany in Oneonta. The couple celebrated 47 years of marriage together until Jack's passing in April of 2003.

In the early 1980's, she and Jack established Pathfinder Coach Lines. Doris loved every part of their business, from planning the trips and guiding the tours to meeting all sorts of new and different people along the way. She especially enjoyed meeting with her customers and made many, many friends through the business.

Doris was a woman of faith, who always found the good in people and never had an unkind word for anyone, qualities that made her a beloved friend to so many. In her spare time, Doris loved to go shopping and talking with her friends and family on the phone. She will be fondly remembered as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and dear friend.

She is survived by her son, Kenneth C. (Eileen) Tiffany of Cary, North Carolina; daughter, Jacquelyn (Rick) Swift of South New Berlin; grandchildren, Tiffany Swift, Craig Swift, Meegan Tiffany and Brie Tiffany; two great-grandchildren, Esme Bundy and Presley Swift; and sister, Dolores Gonser.

Doris was predeceased by her husband, Jack Tiffany; son, Michael Tiffany; and grandson, Brett Swift.
