Doris Mae Cooke, 66, of White City, passed away on July 26, 2004 at the
Country Garden Adult Foster Care Home of Jim and Ellen Gregg in Central
Point.

Doris was born October 27, 1938 in Wilburton, Oklahoma to Myrtle and Cecil
Cooke, who preceded her in passing. She resided in Oatman, Arizona as a
child, moving to Fontana California upon her marriage to Norman John
Malin.

She made a home for her family aboard a 32' sailboat named "Snoopy" for
over three years, sailing throughout the Pacific Ocean, ultimately
settling on Maui, where she resided for close to 20 years.

In the mid 80's, with her children grown, she moved to White City to be
closer to her older sister, Lois Wyllie, who also preceded her in passing.

Doris loved animals, and was an avid supporter of the Humane Society, and
local animal shelters. She was known for her compassionate heart, and
superior sense of humor and wit, and will be greatly missed by those who
knew and loved her.

She is survived by two sons, Dennis and his wife Karen of Lake Havasu
City, Arizona and Norman Jr. of Maui Hawaii; a daughter, Terri Eismann,
also of Maui; three grandchildren, Ashley, Ian, and Daniel; step-
granddaughter, Kristina DeWinter, and a great-granddaughter, Lillian Mae.

A memorial service is planned for the fall in Oatman, Arizona and will be
presided over by Doris's nephew, Pastor Phillip Patterson, of Morongo
Valley, California.

Donations to Humane Society in lieu of flowers would be appreciated.
