Doe cleaned houses and took care of children in her younger years. Later she was a housekeeper at NVRH on the second shift for many years.
Doe is remembered for her walking all over town, for making her famous 'whoopies' and chocolate chip cookies, and her meat pies at Christmas time. She loved to play bingo with the folks at the St. Johnsbury House. Every Friday morning she would fold the bulletins at the church and then go for coffee. Doe spent the last three months in North Carolina with Richard and Sandra and was so very happy to be with her family. She truly enjoyed all the cards and letters that she received from her friends and family while she was down south.

While in North Carolina Doe became very fond of a little dog named Bitsy from the local humane society. In lieu of flowers please consider sending memorial contributions to Humane Society of Iredell, (hsidogs@yahoo.com), 110 Robinson Rd., Mooresville NC 28117.
