Doris graduated from McKinley High School as part of the class of 1938. She was grateful for everything in her life and will be remembered as a lovely person both inside and out. An artist, she enjoyed both working in water color and oil. Her love of art inspired her to help found the Temecula Valley Art League whose purpose is to promote interest in and encouragement of the arts in their members. Doris loved dogs and enjoyed spending time with her canine companions. Her family describes her as “a real corker” who took great joy in putting a smile to the face of others.

The family suggests that you remember Doris by sharing a random act of love and kindness with someone in your life and by sharing a gently touch with a canine companion.
