She worked as a homemaker, and as a member of the ELCW Women's Aid, she was known for her specialty pasties and pies.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Delbert; son-in-law, Richard Miller; and many brothers and sisters.
A funeral service will be held at WEST BLUE MOUNDS LUTHERAN CHURCH, 2962 Church St., Blue Mounds, at 11 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 18, 2019, with the Rev. John Twiton presiding.

Dear Karen; Linda, by way of Sheila forwarded your Mom's Obituary to me this AM. Candi and I am very sorry for your loss. We have both lost our Parents and no matter how old or young it is always a difficult time. But the wonderful memories and stories are what keeps us all going. Unfortunately we will be back in AZ and unable to attend Doris's funeral, but for sure we will be there in spirit. Please accept our sincere condolences.
Your friends,
Candi & David
