On Oct. 9, 2011, Doris Brunner of Renton, Wash., went home to the Lord.

Born in 1932, Doris grew up in Kansas. In 1953 Doris married Junior Brunner. She is survived by her four children, Katherine Alvord, Jacob Brunner, Donald Brunner, and Virginia Brunner; four grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.

Doris lived her life by her faith in Christ. This was displayed in her character. She devoted her life to her family, church, and friends. Doris was selfless in helping others whenever possible. She was caring, loving, always ready with a smile and a hug. She loved children, devoting countless hours in the church’s nursery. Doris lived a full life. She persevered through challenges and rejoiced in the good times.

Memorials may be sent to Highlands Community Church, Vision House.org, or the ALS foundation. We celebrate the life she led on earth.
