As a young woman, Doris was a secretary-bookkeeper for a Dayton furniture store, where she met her husband. They married on Valentine's Day, just before Roland was sent to England during World War II. Doris followed her husband as the military moved them around the world. When her children graduated, she went to work at the Arizona Bank in Chandler as a loan officer. She was a gracious, loving mother and dedicated wife. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends. A memorial service in her honor is planned for Tuesday, April 15, at 10:00 AM at St. Steven's Catholic Church, 24827 S. Dobson Rd. in Sun Lakes.
