Doris, 96, of Bath, Michigan, passed away peacefully on October 5, 2015. Doris was born at home on November 23, 1918 in Britton, Michigan, to Leonard and Gladys (Cook) Beasley. Doris graduated from Northville High School in 1936.
Surviving to cherish her precious memory are her granddaughters, Audra (Richard) Sweet and Naomi (John) McPherson; great grandchildren, Brianna Sweet (13), Ean (12) and Corbin (10) McPherson and a baby on the way.
Doris was preceded in death by her husband, Clark Alfred Losey and her only child, Clark "Skip" Edward Losey.
Doris liked to dance, one night she saw a sharp dancer, little did she know it was her future husband. She told a friend she would like to dance with Clark and her friend said, "I can fix that!" They played a Fox Trot and that was the beginning of a long life together.
Clark and Doris were married at the Methodist Church in Angola, Indiana, on January 3, 1940. Doris has always been a homemaker. She lived a calm and quiet life and worked hard to please everyone with a big smile.
In 1949, Doris had a son named Clark Edward Losey, better known as "Skip". Later the family moved to Bath, Michigan where Doris lived for 50 years. Clark and Doris celebrated 72 years of marriage and in their spare time enjoyed a cabin in Harrison, Michigan.
Doris babysat her granddaughters when they were young. She played games with the girls, taught them how to cook, bake, sew, crochet and more. Grandma's house was a home away from home. The girls have the sweetest memories of those times together. There was nothing she would not do for her son or granddaughters!
Doris enjoyed cooking and canning from the garden, she took care of the chickens and collected their eggs. She was a talented seamstress even as a young lady. Doris made her graduation dress as well as her wedding dress and jacket.
Doris loved having family and friends come to her house for Sunday dinners. These were delicious, hearty meals you would expect on the farm: meat, potatoes, gravy, vegetables, coleslaw, rolls and it was always followed by the world's best homemade pie.
Clark and Doris were passionate about attending Horse Pulling Contests all over Michigan, Indiana and Ohio. They enjoyed going on long rides and visiting friends and family to play cards and to talk about the good old days.
Doris touched more lives than she ever realized. She will be deeply missed but her grandchildren will forever cherish her memory.
