Doris is survived by her loving family, including Richard (Jennifer) Schanck, Charolette (John) Nodolf, Michael Schanck, and Betty Bridger. She also leaves behind a legacy of ten grandchildren, numerous great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren who will carry her memory forward in their hearts.
