Doris was born on Nov. 6, 1936 in Camden NJ, the daughter of loving parents, John and Rose (DiGangi) DiTullio, a large extended Italian family. Doris, an only child, looked forward to time with her cousins at her family’s farm in Atco New Jersey. Doris was a dance instructor at the age of 13 and loved to perform. Even into her 80’s, as soon as she heard music, she’d get up and dance! She had a quick wit and would flash a smile revealing her playful sense of humor.
She worked at Shaevitz Engineering where she met her husband Joe (deceased 2012) and married in 1968. Joe and Doris shared 45 wonderful years together traveling 43 states and 9 countries.
Her devotion and love for Joe was unsurpassed, they were inseparable; two peas in a pod. In retirement in Cape Coral and Fort Myers, Doris spent time painting, dancing, and exploring new activities like tennis, golf, and card playing to name a few. Hosting large holiday dinners; she treasured her friends and the wonderful ventures they shared.
