Doris went to her heavenly reward on January 4, 2022, at the age of 98. She was born in Grout Township, Gladwin County to Frank and Susie Jane Shearer. She was the youngest of 5 siblings: Mabel (Orren) Bosworth, Alvin (Dorothy) Shearer, John (Verna) Shearer and Edna (Basil) Edick. She was a graduate of Gladwin High School, Spring Arbor Jr. College, Central Michigan College, and University of Michigan. She taught mostly second graders for a total of 40 years in Mt. Pleasant, Gladwin and Colt School in the Lansing Waverly District. After retiring from teaching, she continued to work with children in her church to her 90th year. Doris loved traveling. Her trips included Africa, Asia and Europe along with extensive travels throughout Canada and the U.S. Doris was a Lansing Mall daily walker and was very appreciative of her friends there. Doris will be buried next to her mother and father in the Gladwin Cemetery. There will be a memorial service at the Lansing South Church of the Nazarene in the spring.
