Doris Stroh, 93, of Johnstown passed away on Easter Sunday, March 27, 2016 in Broomfield with family members at her side. The heavenly choir gained a lovely voice and quite a character! She was born November 22, 1922 in LaSalle, CO to Ezekiel Clark and Velzora Ona (Mitchell) Case. She graduated Milliken High School in 1940 and married Charles Stroh on August 31, 1941 at the last minutes of their marriage license. Doris and Charles moved to a farm North of Milliken where they raised their children and loved their grand children for over 50 years. She spent that time helping on the farm, was a homemaker and later worked with Dr. Morrisey at the Johnstown dentist office. Doris directed the Milliken Presbyterian Church and Johnstown United Methodist Church choirs for over half a century. Music was always a big part of her life and over the years, hundreds of families invited her into their lives at some of their most intimate times, including singing at weddings and funerals. She was always active in organizing school, church and community functions, including the Milliken School reunions for many years. Doris also enjoyed many travels with Charles, horse shows with her son John, and numerous adventures flying and sailing with her son David.
