On September 30, 1961 in Rapid City, South Dakota, Doris was united in marriage to Ardell Suhumskie. They were blessed with three children: Nancy, Ardell Jr and Ronald. Doris was able to stay at home and raise her children. She loved taking care of them and did everything she could to make sure their needs were met. In her spare time, she enjoyed working word search puzzles and read. She was a champion marble shooter and horseshoe pitcher in her younger years. Doris was a member of several clubs and organizations (in her words, “too many to name”) and served as President of the Waynesville Senior Citizens Center for nine years. At an early age, Doris made a profession of faith and was baptized. She has been a faithful member of the First Baptist Church of Waynesville for several years and tried to help out any way that she could.

She will be sadly missed by all those that knew and loved her. Doris leaves to cherish her memory by three children: Nancy Hicks of Crocker, MO, Ardell Suhumskie, Jr. of Springfield, MO and Ronald Suhumskie of Garland, TX; one brother John Walker of Florida; one grandson: Dylan Hicks; other relatives and friends. In addition to her parents, Doris was preceded in death by her husband, Ardell Suhumskie, two sisters: Jeanine and Joanne; and two brothers: Robert and Archie.
