In Memory of Doris May Conrad Abadie
November 8, 1921 - September 27, 2011
Obituary
September 27, 2011 marks the end of the long trail of heroism and the loving care of our mother, Doris Abadie. That trail, began with the early death of her husband, our father, on September 8, 1964 at the age of 49. His death came after a long battle with the after effects of treatments he received for tuberculosis that he contracted at the end of his tour of service in World War II. At the age of 43, our mother became a widow with six children, the oldest 16 and the youngest less than 16 months. With the aid of our extended family and friends, her belief in God, and her huge heart, she lived to see all six of her children survive, prosper and give her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who she loved abundantly.
