Doris C. Meyer peacefully passed away on April 12, 2019 with her husband, George by her side. Doris was a loving and dedicated wife, mother and friend. She always brought joy and laughter with her. Always up for a talk, joke, an adventure or lunch with the girls. She was born July 17, 1940 in Queens, New York to Camella and Kenneth Hoffman. She moved to New Paltz as a child, graduated from New Paltz Schools and lived in Modena for the last 60 years. An active member of her community, Doris was the friendly-face at the Modena Post Office since 1973, becoming Postmaster in 1984, she always knew your name and family. She was the essence of small town; giving out lollipops and answering every letter to Santa that arrived at her Post Office. She retired in 2000. Doris was a lifetime member of the Modena Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary, serving as past president and treasurer. She was also a member of the Modena Cemetery committee and the Lions Club. By far, her lasting legacy is the loving extended family which she created with her husband George. Meeting each other 62 years ago their love affair began. Keeping friendships as long as their marriage. George and Doris were surrounded by many generations of love, laughter and memories in her last days. Doris is survived by George Meyer, her loving and attentive partner of over 59 years; her son, Kenneth and his wife, Kimberly; her daughter, Elizabeth Camille Meyer; her granddaughters, Kelsea and Kassandra Meyer. The family resides at Heritage Trail in Modena, New York.
