Doris met the love
of her life Gilbert Vogelpohl and in her words, “Corrupted a soon to be Pastor
Vogelpohl”. They were married on August
21
st
1944 in Richmond, Virginia. The war took Gilbert from her
temporarily. She occupied her time as a
Rosie the riveter, until Gilbert returned to her in November of 1945.
Doris and her
family resided in Saginaw, MI, Cleveland, OH, Milwaukee, WI, Lansing, MI and
finally Boise, ID.
She worked at the
Schlitz Brewing Co. in Milwaukee, WI and various laundry centers.
Doris was an avid
sports fan. She enjoyed Social gathers
after church, choir, playing cards, especially cribbage. Sewing, crochet, and knitting were among her
other hobbies.
Doris always
enjoyed visiting with her old friends and made new friends very easily. I do not think she every met a person who was
not comfortable in calling her, Grandma, because that would be how she would
introduce herself.
