Doris was a devoted Christian and a Godly woman who loved the Lord with all her heart. Her faith

guided every part of her life and was reflected in the love, compassion, and strength she shared

with others. She raised her children and grandchildren with purpose, grace, and unwavering

devotion, always leading by example.

She found joy in life's simple blessings — baking, cooking, sewing, dancing, caring for children, and

creating a warm and loving home for her family. She especially loved spending peaceful moments at

City Park in Hagerstown, a place that brought her comfort and happiness.

To know Doris was to feel loved. She loved deeply, selflessly, and unconditionally. She never gave

up on anyone and always saw the good in people. She listened with genuine care, making everyone

feel heard, valued, and important. Her kindness, generosity, patience, and infectious laughter

touched countless lives.

She was the heart of her family — a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother,

caregiver, and friend. Her strength, resilience, and beautiful spirit held generations

together and will continue to inspire all who knew her.

Doris often joked that she wanted her gravestone to read, "Wow, what a ride!" Those who loved her

know how perfectly that captured her spirit, humor, and appreciation for life.

Though her family's hearts are heavy with loss, they rejoice in knowing she is now dancing in

Heaven, embraced by the Lord she faithfully loved and served throughout her life. Her legacy of

faith, love, laughter, and devotion will live on for generations to come.

She was deeply loved and will be forever missed.

A private graveside service will be held for the immediate family.

A celebration of life/memorial service will be held on Saturday, June 20th from 2-4pm @ Breezy

Acres Herbst Farm, 20204 Old Forge Road, Hagerstown MD 21742. Friends and family are welcome

to attend.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Washington County Hospice.
