Dorothea “Doris” Gabbitas
Dorothea “Doris” Gabbitas, 85, passed away October 12, 2026. Born in war-torn Germany, Doris overcame tremendous hardships with strength and resilience. She endured tyranny and hunger and emerged with a tenacious spirit that would define her entire life.

She was always willing to lend a hand and give her time and devotion to those in need. Her life was truly filled with service to others!
Preceded in death by husband Thomas and son Karl, she leaves behind her loving partner, Bruce Linger, daughter Lisette, grandchildren Matthew, Breanne, and Danielle, and great grandchildren Ethan, Oakley, Wyatt, Luke and Matti.
Forever our Oma, loved beyond words and never forgotten.
