David Horton served as a pastor in the American Baptist denomination and Doris and Dave lived in many places throughout the country, including Cardiff, N.J., Saginaw, Grass Lake and Jackson, Mich., Pueblo, Colo. and Fort Wayne, Ind., before moving to Green Valley in 2000. Doris had friends all over the country and world.

Doris worked as an X-ray technican for many years in Pennsylvania and Michigan. She was a kind, generous, caring and giving person and a wonderful wife and mother. She had an abiding faith and enjoyed sewing, knitting, crocheting and counted cross stitch.
