Dori Cochrun, 94
Doris Marie Cochrun, of Saranac, MI, passed away peacefully Aug. 10, 2020, at 
the age of 94.

She was born April 5, 1926, in Keene Twp., daughter of the late Perry and 
Lydia (Adgate) Walter. Doris married the love of her life Roger in October of 
1947, and they shared 72 wonderful years full of faith, humor, and 
companionship. They were always young at heart together; their love story 
started with mutual adoration and fondness, both which only grew through the 
years.

Her greatest joy was her family to whom she was a devoted and a loving mother 
and grandma. She and Roger were consummate supporters of their children and 
grandchildren, whether it was to cheer them on as they pursued their dreams, 
which sometimes took them far from home, or taking a pack of grandkids on an 
annual camping trip. She loved holidays and family get-togethers; any chance 
to spend time with her family and friends was important to her. Doris and 
Roger loved traveling and made it to all 50 states, with Alaska being her 
favorite! She also enjoyed playing cards, gardening, cooking, and baking. 
There were always some of her famous molasses cookies around for those who 
stopped by. She had a dry sense of humor, her laugh was  contagious.

Doris will be deeply missed. She was the beloved wife of Roger Cochrun of 
Saranac, MI; mother to Linda (Jeffrey) Caudell of Ionia, MI, and Ron (Dianne) 
Cochrun of Saranac, MI; grandma  to Scott Caudell and Fiance Kara West of 
Bridgeman, MI, Mark Caudell of Nairobi, Kenya, Angie (Matt) Hamlet of 
Baltimore, MD, and Laura Cochrun of Washington, DC. She was a proud great-
grandmother to Hannah Joy Caudell and was eagerly awaiting the arrival of 
Baby Hamlet due Aug.13. She is also survived by her dear sister-in-law, Joyce 
Walter of Saranac, MI, and many nieces, nephews, and lifelong friends.

Preceding Doris in death were her parents; brothers, Judson (Thelma) and 
Myron; and infant sister, Savilla.

A memorial service will be planned at a later date to celebrate Doris's life 
and legacy. Arrangements are cared for by Lake Funeral Home in Saranac. Those 
wishing to make memorial contributions may do so to Saranac Community Church, 
where she was an active lifelong member, or Ionia Area Hospice. Online 
condolences may be made at lakefuneralhomes.com
