Doris Gaerin, 95, passed away on Wednesday, February 16, 2022 at Hospice
of Havasu Polidori House, in Lake Havasu City, with family by her side.

Doris was born in Fall River, Massachusetts to Wilfred and Ludivina. She
graduated high school and later attended cosmetology school and became
the proud owner of a successful business, Towne Beauty Salon in
Westport, Massachusetts.

She relocated to San Diego in 1966 with her four children from her
marriage to Henry Gaudreau. She continued in cosmetology, then moved
into a data entry position and retired from National Steel and
Shipbuilding Company (NASSCO) in San Diego, California. She moved from
San Diego to Lake Havasu City in January 2019.

Doris loved golf, bingo, painting, needlepoint, sewing, reading and
always looking fashionable. She was a proud woman who lived a long,
fulfilling life. Her life gave her witness to amazing changes, new
inventions and advancements in technology. She embraced it all. She
maintained her sharp mind and was feisty until the end.

Doris was preceded in death by both parents, nine siblings, and son
Wayne Dumais (Sheryl). She is survived by sisters Lillian Polselli and
Germaine Baker, son Henry Gaudreau (Dodie), daughter Sharon Lawrence
(Thomas), son Bruce Gaudreau, and Daughter Paula Gaudreau, along with
eight grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren.

The family is grateful to Hospice of Havasu and the compassionate care
received at Polidori House.
