NORTH LIBERTY - Doris J. Wynn, 82, of North Liberty,
passed away at 5 a.m. Sunday, December 14, in her son's residence
in Mishawaka after an extended illness. Doris was born on March
14, 1926, in Walkerton, IN, and had resided in the Michiana area
her lifetime. On March 2, 1947, in Walkerton, as Doris J. Bellinger,
she married Charles L. Wynn, who survives. Also surviving are a
son, Ed (Christine) Wynn of Mishawaka; two grandchildren whom she
loved and cherished, Matthew C. Wynn and Cassandra B. Wynn; a
sister, Betty L. Sheaks, Willow Brook, IL, and a brother,
William O. (Kay) Bellinger, North Manchester, Indiana. Doris was
preceded in death by her parents, and by a brother, Grant H.
Bellinger. Mrs. Wynn retired from Wells Aluminum in 1987 after
many years of service. She was a member of St. John's Lutheran
Church and was a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother. She
loved gardening, nature, and loved her family deeply as they did
her. She will be sadly missed by her loving family, her church
family, and all who had the opportunity to know her during her
life journey. She loved to be with family and friends. When I
came to the end of the road, and the sun has set for me, I
remember the love that we have shared and that will comfort thee.
