They spent 60 years together farming, raising their three children and serving their community.
In 1977, a farm accident caused a severe head injury and the prognosis of not being able to walk, talk, use her right side or care for herself again. She proved them wrong and was rehabilitated to be able to drive, shop and care for her household and was an inspiration to many.
She was active in mothers’ clubs, PTA, 4-H advisor, Cub Scouts, Little League, Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, Buckeye Valley Boosters and Flying Farmers. She was rarely in the limelight, but always serving and helping others. If there was a need or a request, Doris was always there. She was working when her family went to bed and working when they awoke. She was “Mom” to many and loved by all who knew her. Doris made work fun and could be found on both sides of a prank.
