| A
little about her family . . . |
She was married
for 24 years and has been divorced
for 25. When Doris and her
husband moved to Zanesville, they
lived on Harper Drive and the kids
attended Tri-Valley schools. Her
husband was employed at Conesville
Power Station.
(Doris lived in Japan for 10 months
and in Brazil for 10 months because
her husband's job sent them there.
Doris has two children: Margie
who lives in Cincinnati and is
a surgery scrub tech in the maternity
ward, and a son, Chuck, who is
living with her temporarily after
having had three back surgeries.

| Her
involvement at North Terrace . .

In January of
1989 she became aware of North
Terrace Church of Christ through
friends and after delving into
the beliefs and statements of the
Church of Christ was baptized and
joined the Church in April of 1989. She
has enjoyed being in the Single
Again group that we had for several
years, the 50 Plus Group, Women’s
Bible Study, and also the Bible
Study at the Inn at North Hills,
and of course morning and evening
on Sunday, and Wednesday evening
classes. However, at the
present time with both my son and
granddaughter living with me, it
is difficult to get here as often
in the evenings as I would like.
