Air Force. Their married life together
spanned 59 years. They were blessed with
three sons who survive her, Steven (Elaine) of Cody Wyoming, David (Brenda) of
Delanson, NY and Mark (Lynn) of Greenfield Center, NY.
She is also survived by her granddaughter Dena (Don) DeLude
of Latham and their children Jase and Alana, grandson Shane Haberland of
Denver, Colorado, granddaughter Gina Carbone, great granddaughter Daphne and
great grandson Nicholas.
Doris was loved by many nieces and nephews, her longtime and
best friends Fran Maurel, of Colonie , and Miles and Marilyn Seeley of Schroon
Lake. She also had much love for “daughter” Karen (Mike) Gasiorowski of Clifton
Park.
Doris was a wonderful, loving and caring woman who had a
zest for life, friends and family. She and Ray loved spending their summers in
Schroon Lake
