Doris was born on August 8, 1924, on the family farm near Donwell, SK and was one of ten children. She married Fred Adam on October 22, 1944. Due to a farming accident that left Fred a paraplegic, they moved to Yorkton along with their two daughters where Doris became the bread winner through keeping boarders and working at various jobs. After Fred passed away on March 26, 1965, Doris continued to work until she retired from The Bay. Later she met Joseph Napora and they were married on October 23, 1967. Her joys in life were gardening, cooking, sewing, knitting, cross stitching and her grandchildren. Doris and Joe had the grandchildren over for sleep overs every chance possible. She constantly spoiled them with love, attention and treats.
Doris sold her Yorkton home and moved to Medicine Hat in 2007 to be closer to family. She resided at the Meadowland’s Senior Village the entire time where she took in every activity and outing possible.

In honour of Doris’ wishes, cremation has taken place and a memorial service celebrating her life will be held in Yorkton at a later date to be determined.
