Doris Angelroth

Doris spent the first fifty years of life in her family’s Cudahy home that her father, Norman, designed in 1929 to include his insurance office. Doris graduated from Cudahy High School and Spenserian Business College. She worked for fifty years at Wrought Washer Mfg. During those years she gave her personal time working with teen-age girls in the International Order of Job’s Daughters. Doris began working with the Bay View group of Job’s Daughters. She later worked with the adult Guardian Council and was elected to the station of presiding officer in Wisconsin’s Grand Guardian Council in 1954-1955 and the presiding officer in the International Supreme Guardian Council in 1968-1969. As chief officer internationally, Doris toured worldwide. She was a member of Vega Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star and served as organist for 13 years. In the early 1960’s she and her husband bought land in Egg Harbor where they constructed a travel trailer court. Years later when it was sold, she moved her trailer home to Sturgeon Bay where she retired. In her spare time she worked with the Public Library to develop a group called “Read and Share,” reading with residents of various assisted living facilities for the elderly. She left after 12 years when she could no longer hear sufficiently. In becoming acquainted in her new church, she found there had never been anyone to establish a church history. Doris undertook that job when she was named Historian and drove to the Episcopal Cathedral in Fon du Lac twice monthly to copy records and establish archives for Door County’s Episcopal mission churches. Her move to Dousman and the Masonic Village on the Square campus was necessary due to health problems. Preceding Doris in death were her parents Effie and Norman Harbrecht, sister, Janet, Husband Ira Robinson, USAF, victim of WW II, and nephew Richard Andrews. A niece, Ellen Andrews of Alpine, Texas, survives her. Visitation will be on August 27th at 1:00 p.m. with a memorial service at 2:00 p.m. at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 3200 S. Herman Street, Milwaukee. Memorials may be given to the Hearing Impaired Kids Endowment (HIKE Fund c/o John Hauser, 530 Elliot St, Council Bluffs, Iowa 51503), Wisconsin Job’s Daughters Memorial Foundation (Dorothy Cigale, 3801 S Austin St, Milwaukee, WI 53207), or Church World Vision.
