Doriece was a Lifetime VFW Auxiliary Member with Millersville-Manor Post #7294, where she dedicated much of her time and spirit to supporting veterans and her community. Her love for animals, especially her cherished cats, was evident to all who knew her, and she held a special place in her heart for them. Doriece found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She loved gathering with friends and family to enjoy meals, with her favorite spot being the Conestoga Wagon, where she spent countless evenings. She also shared a love for the outdoors, often camping with her devoted husband, Roger, and creating lasting memories together. Her family and friends were her world, and she held them close in everything she did. Doriece was dedicated and hard-working. She retired after 25 years at Y & S Candies and went on to pursue a second career and worked as a bookkeeper with Weis Markets.
