McClenahan, Doris R.

McCLENAHAN, Doris R., September 27, 1928-March 24, 2007. Doris R. 
McClenahan, 78, of Tucson, entered into rest March 24, 2007 after a 
short illness. Mrs. McClenahan was preceded in death by her beloved 
husband of 51 years, Malcolm McClenahan, in 2002. Survivors include 
her two sons, Trace McClenahan of Scottsdale and Marc McClenahan of 
Chandler. She is also survived by two sisters, Carole Harrington of 
Brighton, Colorado and Lillian Buchanan of Cape Girardeau, Missouri, 
as well as several nieces and nephews. Born in Springfield, Missouri, 
Mrs. McClenahan grew up in McAlester, Oklahoma; she married then-Lt. 
McClenahan in January, 1951. Col. McClenahan's Air Force career took 
the couple all over the United States, and Doris was involved in 
numerous activities with Officers Wives Clubs and various charitable 
activities in addition to raising her sons and being a wonderful life 
partner to her husband. In 1979, Doris was hired by the City of 
Tucson in a secretarial capacity and eventually rising to become head 
of the City Prosecutor's clerical staff. After retirement, Doris and 
Malcolm devoted their time to traveling the world with family and 
friends; their neighborhood parties in Rolling Hills were legendary 
for the fun and frivolity they provided, and the couple leaves behind 
countless friends. With sadness, we say goodbye to our mother, who 
touched so many lives in so many ways; but we rejoice in her reunion 
with our dad, with whom she had a bond that serves as an example to 
all of us of what life can be in a loving marriage. No services are 
planned. Donations in Mrs. McClenahan's memory may be made to Casa de 
Los Ninos or the Humane Society of Southern Arizona. Arrangements by 
BRING'S BROADWAY CHAPEL, 6910 E. Broadway.
