Doris Gardner Obituary

I am so very sorry to learn of Doris' passing. I had a dream of Donna last night that just hit me to the soul and I had a funny feeling that I needed to check on Doris. I know she is in a better place now, with joy and sunshine all the time...and most of all, no pain. Her family is in my prayers.

Doris and I were fellow members of the board of NACM Midwest. We could always count on Doris to speak her mind and ask the hard questions. From my conversations with her I could tell she was like that in the other areas of her life also. She faced her illness with optimism and courage like the other challenges in her life - work, zoning boards and others. I wish I had known her better but still she touched my life and I will miss her.

I was so sorry to hear about Doris. I know she must have gotten great joy from her horses and a great sense of accomplishment from having built her barn herself. I am so glad she was able to spend time at William Woods gaining further knowledge about her passion. I am sure she met many life long friends while she was here in Fulton. I am sorry her life was so short, but I am sure she did more in fewer years than most people do who live a lot longer. Hopefully the horses brought her much happiness, as I am sure they did.

I learned of Doris' passing from Gayle Lampe, an equestrian instructor at William Woods University, in Fulton, Missouri. Although I did not know Doris, I share her love of horses and am so impressed she built her own barn. My heart goes out to her family. May her memories bring comfort to you. Sincerely, Barb

Aunt Doris,

I'll never forget watching football with you on Sundays, talking about school and just thinking that you are one amazing Aunt. I love and miss you very much.
