Doris M. Brubaker

Doris M. Brubaker, 86, of Manheim, died peacefully surrounded by her
family on Friday, March 30, 2018 at the Pleasant View Retirement Community.
Born in Rapho Township, she was the daughter of the late Harold and Edna
Conrad Achey. Doris was the loving wife of Arthur L. "Art" Brubaker and they
observed their 66th wedding anniversary in July of last year. In her early
years Doris was employed at Noggles Garment Factory, Manheim; she later
worked for Hamilton Technologies in East Petersburg, and then retired after
working many years at Warner Lambert, Lititz. Doris was a life-long active
and faithful member of Ruhl's United Methodist Church, Manheim; where she
served as Sunday school teacher for over 60 years. With a servant's heart
she helped in the kitchen and managed the "prize stand" for the yearly Sunday
School picnic. She was a Bible School teacher/organizer and was the Sunday
School coordinator for the children's department. Doris and Art served as
church custodians at Ruhl's for a number of years. She and Art enjoyed traveling
throughout the United States, the Caribbean, and Europe. She loved
taking photos, especially sunsets. Cross stitch
projects were her favorite past time. She was a voracious reader who had a
passion for memorizing poems and teaching them to her children and grandchildren.
Doris had a loving and caring heart for her Lord and felt blessed to be
surrounded by her loving family.

of William Aument of Manheim, Barb Reedy of Manheim, three grandchildren:
Zach, Emilee and Kaley, two great grandchildren: Emerson and Will. She is
