She grew up, married and raised her family in Detroit. In 2002 Doe retired to Jasper, Georgia to be closer to her children and grandkids.

She is survived by her brother, Elmer Clyma; her children; Kendolyn and Craig Belt, John and Carrie Rupkey; Jay and Sue Strainovici; Pete and Leanne Strainovici; 7 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

The family wishes to express great appreciation and heartfelt thanks to the staff and volunteers at Provident Village, Doe’s residence of the last 5 years. Our appreciation and thanks also extend to the staff and awesome healthcare workers at Amedisys Healthcare who assisted Doe in every way during the last 10 months.
