Doris passed away from advanced pneumonia under hospice care at her grandson’s home in Kent Washington on June 19, 2016, at the age of 95.

Doris was married to C. Loren Mardock on June 9th in 1943, in Coronado California, moving soon to the Portland, Oregon area. Over the next several years she gave birth to three sons of whom she was very proud. Doris worked in the local school cafeteria and became very involved in her local Eastern Star organization. Doris also enjoyed gardening at her farm in Canby, Oregon, fishing the Columbia River, rock hunting pretty much anywhere, feeding the birds, and sunbathing in her winter lodging in Quartzsite Arizona. She had a soft soul and a kind heart, and will be missed by many.
