Doris was a 1949 graduate of Atlanta
High School. She was a member of the McLean
Christian Church. Doris had worked as a secretary at
the Humphrey Law Office in Lincoln after high school
until her marriage in 1953. She was a kind and
generous person and deeply loved her husband and
family. Her favorite part of life was being a
farmer's wife and mother to her children. She
thoroughly enjoyed spending time with her sisters,
brother, kids, and grandkids. Her hobbies were
reading, gardening, sewing and crocheting. She was a
self-taught piano player and would graciously share
that talent. She was a good listener and genuinely
interested in your life. She was a strong center of
the whole family and will be greatly missed by all
who knew her.
Memorials may be made to the Alzheimer’s
Association, Transitions Hospice, or Mt. Hope-Funks
Grove Fire & Rescue.
Final arrangements are entrusted with Quiram-Peasley
