Doreen retired from United Dividers in Elmira after many years of
service. She was a strong hard-working woman who loved her family. She
was the grandma that was always at the sporting events and any events
her grandchildren were in. They could always count on her to be their
biggest cheerleader. This continued right through their college years and
into adulthood where she began cheering on her great-grandchildren. She
loved to make the holiday’s special and has left lasting memories of family
time at her house. She loved Jesus and faithfully followed Him till He called
her home.
A private graveside service will take place at Woodlawn Cemetery at the
convenience of the family.
