Doris Andersen Dubbeld

Doris Andersen Dubbeld, born May 9, 1931, passed away April 28, 2014 just ten days short of her 83 ^rd birthday.   Mom was born to Clarence Gerard (Art) Andersen and Ida Mae Edwards Andersen in Salt Lake City, Utah. She attended school in Salt Lake and graduated from Granite High School in 1949. Always proud to be a "Farmer" and a "49er" she served on many alumni committees and was part of the Granite High Club, a group of friends who continued to meet once a month and stay friends for all these years.

Mom married William N. Dubbeld on October 13, 1951, also in Salt Lake City, and they shared more than 62 years together. Dad was with her at her passing. From this reunion came four children, the first, a girl, Kerri Floyd, Salt Lake City, Utah. Followed shortly by their first son William N. Dubbeld, Jr. (Trish), Salt Lake City, Utah. Holly Price, Salt Lake City, Utah, another girl was next to show followed by Evan Pine Dubbeld (Pam), Allentown, New Jersey, to make an even two pair. Mom was blessed with many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and last year became a great-great-grandmother. She loved having the family visit and she never missed sending a birthday card to all the kids every year.

Mom had a large extended family as well. She stayed very close to her only sister, Colleen Sorensen (deceased) and all her nieces and nephews. Her neighbors were very important to her and she was a good neighbor, to some, as long as 60 years. Her Bridge Club, the Granite Club, Breakfast with the cousins, and we can't forget the many bowling leagues. She bowled with two leagues every winter. Mom spent the Monday before entering the hospital at her Monday League's year end banquet and looked forward to the Wendover trip every year with her Friday league.

The family spent many, many summer weekends enjoying fishing and hunting at Strawberry Reservoir with special friends. She loved deer hunting, but couldn't wait for the kids to get older so they could go and she could stay home out of the cold. Water skiing, fishing, and river cruises were a few of the water activities she would like to do each summer. And she loved to travel and visited many different countries with friends and family.

Mom was working at Sears when she married Dad. After raising the family she became your friendly neighborhood 7-Eleven clerk for better than 26 years. She always had a great work ethic and tried to pass that trait onto us kids. In her later years, mom loved to read, crochet hats she would donate, and pamper her dog Daisy, the "Queen" of the house.

We would like to thank all the staff at St. Mark's Critical Care Unit and Landmark Hospital for their care and respect they showed mom and the family in her final days.
