Spending time with Doreen, was lots of fun, with large doses of chuckles. She helped set up for movie nights and other events, and loved to spend time with her good friend Dorothy Johnson. I always remember Doreen for her animal pals, loaded with batteries, and when she thought someone needed a "pick me up", she brought them to the person, turned them on and had a huge smile. I remember some very special moments and people at Kiwanis, and Doreen was one of them. My thoughts are with Doreen's family, and may you remember the good times. - Posted by: Colleen GrahamNorth (Metropolitan Kiwanis Courts programe coordinator, and friend .) on: Jan 18, 2015
