Doris Rose Schwartz Tanger

Doris Tanger, age 94, died peacefully of natural causes at WellSpring.

Mrs. Tanger was the daughter of the late Irving and Grace Schwartz of Boston MA. She is predeceased in death by her sister Nancy Sachs, her husband Stanley Tanger, and her daughter Jane Tanger Black.

She attended Syracuse University where she met the love of her life on the steps of the Hillel.

Doris and Stanley were married 63 years and raised three children in Greensboro,NC

Doris loved golfing, bridge, needlepoint, and community volunteerism. After surviving breast cancer, she became active in the Reach to Recovery program helping other cancer patients. She served on the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Advisory Board and the Duke Eye Center Advisory Board.

She was a lover of the Tanger Bicentennial Garden, and walked there often. She will be remembered best for her signature red scarf!

Mrs. Tanger is lovingly survived by her son Steven Tanger(Caroline) and daughter Susan Nehmen(Joseph), six grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren.

We thank Well-Spring for their wonderful care over the past four years.
