Doris was a farm wife of the ‘50’s: raising big gardens and canning the produce; raising and cleaning chickens and fixing meals for harvest crews. Doris was a good cook and pies were a specialty. She was always asked to bring pies to all family dinners. Coconut cream pie was a favorite.

Doris is survived by her sons, Billy (Vicki) Hendricks of Broken Bow, and Jimmie (Kathy) Hendricks of Gothenburg: grandchildren, Wendy (Lonnie) Fink, Jeremy (Linzy) Hendricks, and Cody (Aaron) Stubbe; great-grandchildren, Danielle (Austin) Tien, Dakota Slack, Jaysa (Hunter) Ewing, Brady Hendricks, Jocelyn Hendricks, Ava, Ella, and Nora Stubbe; great-greatgrandson, Greyson Ewing; brother-in-law, Richard Hendricks; and many nieces, nephews, and other relatives.

Doris was preceded in death by her parents; her husband brother, Wilfred (Barbara) Fochtman; sisters, Lois (Don) Oman, Rosalie (Jim) Thomas, and Shirley (Gilbert) Rieker; her first husband, Gerald Booker; brothers-in-law, Kenneth (Ruth) Hendricks, Orin (Della) Hendricks; and sister-in-law, Joyce Hendricks.

The family extends heartfelt thanks to the entire staff at Brookestone View for their kindness, compassion, and support in caring for Doris.
