Doris Krekeler of Lititz, Pennsylvania, was taken to her eternal reward on December 14, 2010.
As you probably know, Doris was a very special person. She worked as teacher at elementary schools all over the world, including Hawaii, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan and Germany. She made lifelong friendships wherever she lived, as she had a very genuine, kind, and gentle soul.
I helped move her from Seattle, Washington in August 2009 to live in the same retirement community as my mother and her older sister, Katheryn. Her health deteriorated rapidly since the move, but she was always a pleasure to visit and was loved by many at her new home.
The care she received at the Luther Acres Manor, where she was for the last ten days under hospice care, could not have been better. She died peacefully, surrounded in her last days by the love and warmth of several relatives.
We miss her very much, but are comforted knowing she is at peace and free of her physical limitations and pain. We will carry her beautiful spirit with us throughout our lives.
Attached is a photo of her taken about eight years ago, which I think captures her loving spirit.
Sincerely,
Steven Kretzmann
