Doris Morey, known throughout DG as djm906, passed away April 26, 2007 at the age of 78.

Doris was a homemaker until her husband passed away in 1976. She then learned to drive, and entered the workforce for the first time. She worked in the Osco distribution center until she retired at the age of 69.

After retirement, Doris actively pursued her interests in family genealogy and gardening. Her daughter Deb says she always had a beautiful garden. She loved lighthouses, and they took may drives and vacations looking for lighthouses they hadn’t seen. She took peer learning classes in American Short Stories and Astronomy/Quantum Theory at Northwestern University.

Always a great cook, she was happiest when there was someone to cook for. Her German Shepherd, Hosannah, is like a third child to her. She would bake cookies for her, and Hosannah would sit on the chair while Doris was mixing up cookie dough, and lick the beaters when she was done.

Doris loved Dave’s Garden, and all the friends she met online and at the roundups she attended. She joined DG on December 31, 2000, and frequented many of the forums. She actively traded her seeds and plants with fellow members, and would go out of her way to make others happy.

Survivors include her daughter Deborah Peters, her son David Morey (wife Nancy), two grandsons, one granddaughter, and her German Shepherd, Hosannah.
