Doris Ann McDougall , our dear mom, grandma, and friend, passed away November 7, 2020 at Gritman Medical Center in Moscow, Idaho.  She was born in Madison, Wisconsin on February 25, 1928 to Celia and Marcus Elmer.  Doris grew up in Madison with her parents and her older sisters Betty and Joyce.

Doris was fun-loving, sincere, and thoughtful.  She was curious and liked learning things.  She was artistic and a whiz at math.  After earning her masters in Sociology, she began a career in Lincoln, Nebraska.  She soon met her husband, Bill McDougall, and they were married in Huron, South Dakota in 1952.  Her loving and happy 56-year marriage was spent mostly in Pullman, Washington.  Her life included many world travels and adventures.  She adapted to many different situations with spirit and her love of life.

Doris (mom) was always thinking about the rest of us, bringing us together, and caring about us.  She enjoyed conversation, puzzles and games, and the company of her many friends.  She knitted us sweaters and blankets.  She was always ready for one more round of cribbage.

She leaves behind her son Bob of Durango, Colorado and her son Jim and his wife Katie of Poulsbo, Washington and her grandsons Jason and Ray.  Doris was preceded in death by her daughter Jane in 1984 and her husband Bill in 2008.

We will plan a remembrance for mom in Pullman at a later date.  Doris will rest next to her husband and daughter at the Pullman City Cemetery.  Kimball Funeral Home in Pullman is caring for her family.
