Doris was a great lady. I have many fond memories of her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. Truly hard to say goodbye to somebody who was so cherished,
The Wurz family is all saddened by the passing of my dear Aunt Doris. I spent many happy times as a youngster with her. I still have a couple recipes she shared with me as a younger adult. We will all miss her. Rest In Peace.
She lived a long life and touched many. I was blessed to see her a couple years ago in the lobby of the doctor’s. We had a nice visit. I’m grateful our last words ended with a hug and kindness.
