Doreen enjoyed many relaxing activities such as crocheting, reading books and watching TV. She stayed strong in her faith in Jesus by attending Bible Study and reading her Bible.  Doreen attended services regularly at Evangelical Free Church in Kerkhoven.  She also enjoyed reading books to the children at the head start program and singing songs with them.  What she truly enjoyed the most was spending time with her family and friends.
