Doris was predeceased by her parents.  She is survived by her husband Maurice, daughter Cheryl, brother Olen (Herta), and three nieces. Her burial will be in Twin Falls cemetary following a private service.  Anyone wishing to remember Doris can make a donation in her name to St. Luke's hospice, Magic Valley Humane Society, or a charity of your choice.
