Doreen Springer
August 9, 1959 - April 18, 2012
Aug. 9, 1959 — April 18, 2012 Doreen’s journey brought her to Corvallis in 2009, where she joined and enjoyed her extended family community. She quickly expanded her connections, creating a network of friends who have been forever touched by her presence in their lives. Doreen earned her computer science degree and Master’s of Finance degree while living in Florida. She had a successful career in the high-technology world. When she settled in Corvallis, she enthusiastically participated in the community, volunteering at the South Corvallis Food Bank and the Philomath Community Library, and supporting Dining for Women, a program designed to empower impoverished women and children. All will remember and cherish her delicious sense of humor, her rich appreciation of life, and her determination to have the best life possible while fighting pancreatic cancer. She had a unique openness to the possibilities in life. She will be dearly missed, and is forever in our hearts. Doreen is survived by her dog, Pasha (15 years old); parents Donna and Lew Springer of New Jersey; Donna (Jim) Murphy, Darrell (Ellie) Springer, Dale (Jim) Hosker, Denise Springer, Diana (John) Keith and Darlene Springer; and special family members Claudia Keith and Marilyn Walker. Our thanks go out to all the caring community, including Benton Hospice Service and New Horizons In-Home Care, for supporting Doreen through her last days.
