Doris made people feel welcome and supported wherever she went. Sewing, swimming and sharing special time with family and friends were her delight.

Later as a design draftsperson she produced detailed, technical drawings for an engineering firm. Her custom needlepoint work and beautiful, hand-made tapestries won many awards.

To help others suffering with essential tremors, Doris founded a Gama Knife support group. She was a member of Rodeph Shalom Synagogue, Philadelphia, PA. Services and interment were private.
