Doty bonn in Grand Rapids, MI, May 26, 1940, was the 4th of 6 daughters born 
to Oscar and Jessie DeRyke. Dick and Doty lived in Eagle township for over 30 
years. Doty was wife, mother and helpmate. One of Doty's grandchildren 
described her as "fun to be around" which typified Doty as a grandparent, 
mother, aunt, friend, and neighbor. She loved animal and during the 30 years 
that she and Dick lived in the country one might see cats, dogs, geese, 
bantam chickens, peahens, and a shetland pony in the yard or perched in 
nearby trees. After Dick's retirement, they resided in the Houghton Lake 
area. Doty's light has been extinguished, but mention of her name will elicit 
bright memories of her in those who knew and loved her.

No funeral is planned at this time The family encourage those who wish to 
make donations in her name do so to the North Eagle cemetery Society.
