To Mary, Jane, family and friends of Doris Moser Olson,
My deepest heartfelt condolences to each of you as we celebrate the outstanding life of Doris. She was indeed the symbol of the life of a Story County 4-H'er. Doris was one of the first 4-H'ers I met when I joined in 1948. And when my daughter, Mashall in Linn Co, was interested in the horse project we contacted her. She will always be respected and well remembered by those of us who knew her. May she rest in peace.
We in Milford Twp were also proud to claimed Doris, as a good student, basketball player and regular attendee at our Milford Twp reunions. When she left Milford to graduate at Fernald with the Class of 49, it left us with our smallest class ever, only 4 boys.
May a candle always remind us of our fond memories and the special blessings she provided!
May God's Peace and Love provide comfort at this difficult time of closure and forever.
4 4-H 4EVER, Jurine Borton Moore

Mary and Jane, On behalf of the family of Jim Christy, Nevada, I want to express my deepest sympathy to you and your families. Doris was symbolic of 4-H through and through. She was an excellent role model and was highly respected by my family and the 4-H community. I will never forget her presence at the Story County Fairs and time she gave to her club members, the horses and dogs. May she rest in peace, forever remembered. Sincerely, Julie Christy Bisher, Tama

I am so very sorry to hear this news. Doris was truly one of a kind! She touched so many lives...both those with two legs...and four! She was my 4-H leader for many, many years. No group could have had a leader more caring, knowledgable or committed. I will cherish my memories of her and all the fun times at the 4-H county fair, especially. Peace and blessings to all of her family and friends. (I like to think she's saying a warm hello this day in Heaven to my beloved horses from my childhood, Dusty and Cy.)

Knowing Doris since I was a little girl, it’s hard to find the words to describe what a wonderful human being she was. She was a great neighbor and friend to my family as well as my 4H leader. She was so generous with her time and knowledge, hauling our horses and many dogs to Nevada for the county fair. She was an absolute saint. An amazing role model, she touched so many lives and will be greatly missed. Mary and Jane: my thoughts and prayers are with you and your families

So sorry for your loss...Doris was one of a kind..she fueled my love for horses through hers and am so grateful she was my 4-h leader and friend! She took so much of her own time helping me with my horses...making sure I got to the county fair, letting us ride at her house...there’s just not enough words, to describe ALL she did for me/us....she may be gone but she will never be forgotten. She was one amazing woman...rest in peace Doris, you’ll be dearly missed....
