Doris always had an affinity for fashion. As a buyer for Jonasson's, a specialty clothing store in Pittsburgh, Doris often made buying trips to New York City which would include visits to their affiliate store, The Tailored Woman, as well as fashion shows, theater and restaurants. She was fortunate that she didn't have to apply for the job she wanted as a buyer, the offer came to her. Doris, affectionately called "Dotty" by family, had an affinity for art cultivated by her mother's family who owned Wunderly Art Gallery. She was an art collector for many years. Doris was a long-time member of the Women’s Committee of The Westmoreland Museum of American Art and the Greensburg Country Club. She and Paul did a great deal of traveling, taking 31 Tauck Tours together. The family wishes to thank all of the staff at Longwood and Gateway Hospice for their compassionate care.
