We met Miss Doris almost 10 years ago at the CAFB Chapel. We were always amazed at the number of organizations she was involved in and her spunky personality. She was so sweet and will be dearly missed.
Rest easy in the arms of Jesus my friend. I'm sure she heard the words "Well Done"!!
Thoughts and Prayers sent out to Doris's family and friends.

I was just thinking about Mrs. Doris and wondering how she was doing. I met her and Mr. John and the babies (pomerians) many years ago at the Cable company and they were a joy to talk with. After Mr. John went home to be with God, she invited me into her home to proudly show me her Christmas treasures which she adored proudly. We talked about any and everything. She enjoyed working at the Performing Art Center and the Dock Street Theatre. Her love for the Stingrays Hockey Team, one would have thought she was one of the players. She even offered to watch Boston (my pomerian) when I go on vacation. Mrs. Doris thank you for being apart of my life and I will never forget our conversations. Rest on my dear friend we loved you here on earth but God loved you best.

Mrs. Foust was an amazing lady, neighbor and friend to our family (Abole's) in Covington Hills. She was a pillar of the community there and was a friend to all. She was always busy with neighborhood activities and giving back to the community. She loved the holidays especially Halloween and Christmas. My favorite memory of Mrs. Foust is when she invited me to come over to see her beautiful Christmas tree all decorated with her favorite ornaments and memories. You will be missed Mrs. Foust. Such a great lady!

I was saddened to hear that Doris had passed away. I worked with Doris at the Coliseum and saw her at Stingrays games. She always had a smile and a kind word. My sorrows to her friends and especially, her family.
