Doris was born on December 20, 1932 in Breckenridge, Michigan, the daughter of Bertram Earl French and Ellen Federspiel French. Doris was born and raised in Breckenridge, Michigan; she married the man of her dreams, Robert Jay Young Sr., on September 16, 1960. Bob’s military career brought them to Columbus, where they started and raised their family. Doris enjoyed bowling in her younger years and was a dedicated member of her church family, St. Mathew Evangelical Lutheran Church. Doris loved ice hockey and became a huge fan of the Columbus Cottonmouths and the Columbus River Dragons. She continued attending games just up until a few months ago. She and Bob also enjoyed dining out and attending the Springer Opera House. Doris was a devoted, wife, mother, and homemaker, who loved her family dearly.
Doris was preceded in death by her parents; one sister, Donna Cole, and one brother, Dean French.
Survivors include her two daughters, Sue Ellen Young Spooner and Patti Ann Young Vinson; two sons, Robert J. Young, Jr. and Bradley Wayne Young; three grandchildren, Rachel Spooner, Brittany Gregory, and Marcus Reynolds; four great-grandchildren; one brother, Terry French; and many family members and friends of the family that will cherish her memory.
