Death notice for the town of: Elkhart, state: Indiana
I wish to extend my deepest sympathies to the family of Doris Lintz, who passed away on February 0, 2020. Doris accepted me into her family with open, loving arms during the time I was a part of that family, and I thought she was a wonderful, loving person. She certainly made me feel at home in her home. Over the decades as a pregnancy and delivery nurse she helped bring thousands of babies into this world, and she did it with love and devotion each and every time. For every good reason Doris was very emotional about her profession, and she told me more than once that she especially enjoyed and loved the “premies” she had been lucky enough to care for. She also treated her own children, Judy, Jan, Jim, and Jerry, and grandchildren with great loyalty and affection. Doris lived a long and successful life of love and family happiness, and she is missed by all who knew her. May she forever rest in peace as the “girly girl” that she was.
