Doris was born the fourth of five children to Philip and Katherine (Ginther) Mutschler in Maple Creek, SK. She is survived by Diane and Murray Morton, and their children, Brookelynn and Jenna; Dale and Cindi Franko; brother, Jim Mutschler, and his wife, Delores; brother-in-law, Allen Donst; brothers and sisters-in-law, Don and Connie Franko, Carol and John Smith, and Peter Kapeluck; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends; and her adopted family, Rick, Line, Connor, Cameron, and Kyle Gray.
