Doris Mae (Voth) Harris, formerly of Thief River Falls, passed away peacefully at the age of 89 on March 11, 2020 at Sacred Heart Riverbend Hospital in Sprinfield, OR, surrounded by her loving family.
Doris was born on September 26, 1930 in Thief River Falls. She grew up on the family farm in Holt with her older siblings, Gertrude and Fredrick. She attended school in Holt and Thief River Falls.
After high school graduation, Doris attended St. Johns School of Nursing in Red Wing, graduating in 1951. She continued her nursing career in Thief River Fall and in 1980, Doris relocated to Los Banos, CA to finish out her career.
Outside of her profession, Doris enjoyed most outdoor activities, such as tending to her garden, bird watching and walking. She was also an avid reader with a large collection of books.
