Doris June Singer
March 05, 2018
Doris June Singer completed her journey that started in 1929. The daughter of the late Dorothy M. Rutt-Heisey and Ray Rutt, Doris graduated from Elizabethtown High School and married her husband of 66 years, Samuel W. Singer. Moving to Lancaster, Doris became active at Saint Peters Lutheran Church, the Penn Laurel Girl Scouts Council, American Cancer Society and other civic organizations. After being a stay-at-home mother, Doris worked in several physicians’ offices, retiring from Ophthalmological Associates of Lancaster Ltd.
Heart-broken, Sam will continue life’s trek they shared together. They have a son; Bradley Ray Singer married to Becky Kauffman. Their son, Toby Chanz Singer is her only grandson and is a junior at Penn Manor High School.
Doris was preceded in death by her younger brother Donald R. Rutt. However, Aunt Dee Dee was fortunate to know her brother’s daughter, Courtney Rosenblatt of New York and her nephew, Peter Rutt who resides in Stroudsburg, PA.
Celebrate life and reflect upon Doris June Singer, as you remember her. A private sacrament will be held for immediate family members only.
In lieu of flowers, please consider saying “yes” when it would be easier to say “no”. Run to help those in need instead of turning and walking away. Embrace the ones you love and draw them near.

Dear Uncle Sam and Brad-
I can only second Joe’s note. Aunt Doris was a special person and I am so sad to hear of her passing. My immediate thought is the she and Mom are playing Scrabble once again. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

Sam and Brad,
My family and I will miss Doris a great deal. She was more like a sister than a cousin. Sam we always enjoyed visiting with you and Doris at your home and especially during holiday meals at ours. We know that she recently struggled with health issues but always had a big smile and a welcoming hug for us. We are glad that we got to visit with you and Doris on a “very good day” during the last few weeks. Lorri and I are happy that we visited her just hours before she passed. She was a very special person and we will all miss her dearly.

Dear Sam and Brad, I was so sorry to read of Doris passing. I have many fond memories of long talks full of her sage advice at Overlook Swimming pool. I was so hoping I would be able to pay my respects and also see both of you. Brad I think of you often and hope that you are doing well and enjoying your life. Doris was there for me in some difficult times and for that I will always be greatful. My best to you both and I hope some time I paths will cross. Rodney Fenstermacher

Sam and Brad, Doris will forever be my wonderful “Aunt” – and you Sam, my dear “Uncle”…Even though our relation is technically qualified as more distant. From my early youth I have loved and respected my only Aunt and Uncle immensely – you taught me to ride a bicycle, how to respect my elders, patience with my parents, how good home cooked PA food can be, and that even with passage of time – feelings can remain strong. I will miss Doris’s laugh, her directness, her caring personality – all of her – I will miss her on this earth, but will always feel her spirit. Sam, Brad – my love and thoughts are with you. You are stronger because of Doris…remain so.

We knoe that she is in a better place. Chris Strickler
