late Ray, with whom she had two children, Gertrude and Raymond, or
Trudie and Bill as they are affectionately known; and
WHEREAS, When she was not busy being a devoted wife and mother, Doris
spent her time selling Avon products, which she did for 35 years, work-
ing and playing in a bowling league, which she did until she was 85, and
rooting on the Syracuse Orange basketball team, which she continues to
do today; and
WHEREAS, Now in her 100th year, Doris enriches those around her with
her zest for living; she is proud of the years she has shared with her
family and friends and they are always close to her heart; now, there-
fore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
