She raised and loved her children Jan and Paul, with all her heart through all the phases of their lives. She also adored her grandchildren and great grandchildren and attended many of their activities. Doris worked in retail most of her life starting with CC Andersons (aka Bon Marche, Macy’s), then the Bazaar, Wells Department Store, Fred Meyer and others. She loved working with people but her favorite place was with her family. She loved cooking, entertaining, big band music, Christmas, and made the best carrot cake ever!
