We didn’t know Doris well but heard so much about her and her daily activities through Dale and Laura. She came to many family functions and even came to the movies with us. She made friends everywhere she went. She was a quiet and unassuming woman and loved the Lord. She was ready to go home to heaven. God is Good.
Sending our sincere and loving sympathy to Dale and to Laura and to Hope and to your whole family. You were a GREAT son Dale. We love you so much.

Doris was such a sweet woman. I don’t think I ever heard her utter a bad comment about anyone. She always had a smile if I saw her in Rouseville, at Church or at work, when she was working. She will be missed.
My family attended the Everybody’s Mission on Franklin Ave with Doris and the Wiggins boys ,along with her parents, the Sitterys and enjoyed dinner at their home on Otter St,, Franklin Pennsylvania. Doris was a dear friend , although, after her marriage, I had lost touch with her , A few years ago and did speak with her on the phone. She was a wonderful Christian Lady and mother. May she RIP,Ame
