Doris E. Harnish, 90, of Neffsville passed away peacefully in the early morning of April 29, 2020 at Luther Acres. Doris was born in Lancaster to Christian and Elizabeth Neudorff and graduated from McCaskey High School.
Doris is survived by her two children: Kim Gallagher of West Chester and Jeffrey (Karen) Harnish of Lititz.

As a young woman Doris worked at Farmers Bank and later retired from the Manheim Township Parks and Recreation.
When she needed a vacation from her beloved husband of 61 years Thomas N. Harnish, who preceded her in death in 2014, she would take long trips to the beach for sun, sand, and seashells.
She enjoyed shopping, reading books, playing cards, and lunch with her friends. Many evenings were spent in the backyard hosting picnics with lots of food and drinks for her guests. Her door and heart were always open to friends and family. Due to the COVID-19 restrictions on social gatherings, funeral services are private. In lieu of flowers please donate to: The Caring Fund at LutherCare 600 E. Main St. Lititz, Pa 17543.

Kim & Jeff,
im so sorry for your loss. I have such wonderful memories of playing I your haunted house with you when we’d visit from VA. I though your parents were so much fun! I also remember your big brown dog who would eat the lamp shade when you left him home alone. I met up with your mothe at Mom’s (Joan Ness) funeral & we had a nice visit. They & Gloria Ebert & Carol Dennis call each other “the Girls!” When Mom passed in Oct 2007, I stared exchanging Christmas cards w/ the girls as I was afraid that with so many of their friends passing, they wouldn’t get many. I really enjoyed the lovely family updates from your mother! Like my own mother she was a real firecracker! Hope they’re enjoying a lot of laughs up in heaven
Be Blessed,
Karen Ness

My deepest condolences to Kim, Jeff and their families on the loss of their Mom, my Aunt Doris. Aunt Doris was always one of my favorites. We spent a lot of time together when I was growing up and I have many fond memories of fun times with her and Uncle Tom, my Dad’s beloved brother. She always made me feel special as the “baby of the family” and she was always great to talk to as I was growing up. She was so proud of her kids and grandkids and loved updating me on what they were doing. Thinking of you all and sending our love.
