An avid cook, Doreen transformed the Bush School cafeteria into a place the students flocked to. She loved to golf, swim, and garden. But her real passion in life, aside from her responsibilities as provider and caretaker for her family, was bridge. She loved the game, and achieved Life Master Rank, no simple feat. Fierce competitor, compassionate partner, devoted student of the game as she was in life.
