Born in Union City, New Jersey on October 27th 1922 to Elias and Bertha Saydah, Doris was raised in North Bergen, New Jersey. She grew up with a love of being active and social; by the time she was in high school Doris was planning a dance party in her mother’s house every Friday night for girls only. From a young age she cooked and baked, learning from her own grandmother, and her family and friends will always remember her for her skill in the kitchen. Doris was a homemaker, she loved her family and they were the most important thing in the world to her. She loved reading mystery novels and watching movies- but only the classics.
Doris had a great sense of humor, and a perseverance of spirit that followed her from the beginning to the end of her life. She was not a complainer; she was Kind and warm and generous. She was the best person to go to when you needed a hug. Doris was loving and inclusive, never mean-spirited; her memory is one of smiles and laughter.
A Memorial Mass for Doris will be held at St.Malachy's Catholic Church at 10am on Saturday, May 6th 2017. It will be followed by a memorial gathering at Coral Springs Funeral Home beginning at 12pm, to be held until 3pm.
