Doris and I planned many reunions over the years for the ST. Mary Hospital School of Nursing graduates. Doris and I were classmates and loved to reminince about the good old days as student nurses. When we took our State Boards on Jeff City we had a great time afterwards spending time at Doris’s parents. I will miss her. Correction to obituary. Doris was a Registered Nurse. Raegene Reindl King
Just wanted to share a happier moment from Doris’ beautiful personality. It was the family reunion of 1990 and as my dad (Clarence) became more and more ill the chances of him getting to the reunion grew smaller and smaller. With Doris’ and Ralph Dulles’ help we checked dad out of the hospital and we got dad to the reunion. That meant so much to my dad and mom I get a little teary-eyed just thinking about it now. So grateful to Doris for helping us pull that “kidnap” off that day. Feel like I have not been there like I could have been for her these last years. God bless and keep you, Doris. Thanks for the memories.
Doris and I went to high school and nursing school together. Appreciate all she did for the alumni. A sweet friend! God bless. Judy Mosley Pecher
