Doris Voegtlin

To all of those who knew and loved her, she was “Dode.” On June 5, she threw on her boots, grabbed her coat and a bread bag, and went mushroom hunting. No doubt she is sitting with our dad, Bob, who left us on June 5, 1982. She will scratch the ears of all the dogs she loved and cared for as she keeps an ear and eye out for the wild birds she loved and knew. We will miss her terribly, but take comfort that she is where she loved to be and back with people she loved.

Doris Jean Snider Voegtlin, 82 of Des Moines, passed away June 5, 2013, at Mercy Hospital. Doris was born August 5, 1930, to Marjorie Cowan and William Snider.
