In the airshow world she didn't forget many names and not many forgot Doris once they had met her. She had connections all over the world that made the Airshow the major event that it is today. Doris is survived by son Terry(Joanne) and granddaughter Amanda, of Abbotsford; son Mike (Masha), of Eugene, Oregon and her beloved dog "Maddy".
