She is survived by daughter Carol Thury; grandchildren Ann, Elizabeth, Catherine, Joe and Maggie; great grandchildren Cole, Kate, Reese, Will and Charlotte; son-in-law Tom and daughter-in-law Jill.

Doris was a wonderful mother to her kids and a good friend to many. She enjoyed a good book, a dry Rob Roy on the rocks with a twist, and anything to do with Wisconsin. The people Doris touched will remember her as a woman with a warm and loving heart. She will be greatly missed.
