Passed away peacefully on October 26, 2024 at Bickford Senior Living at the age of 91 years. She was born on December 13, 1932 in Saginaw to the late Emil and Hildegarde (Pretzer) Schultz. Doris graduated from Merrill High School in the class 1951. After high school, she met Philip Underwood and the two would get married on March 11, 1952. Doris went on to own and operate Phil's Freezer in Hemlock alongside her first husband for nine wonderful years. He preceded her in death on April 30, 1991. She was a dedicated member of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Hemlock, where she found both spiritual fulfillment and a beloved community.

Doris was an enthusiastic line dancer and found great delight in being a competitive player of card and board games. Her zest for life was evident in everything she did. Doris married John F. Reimer on January 23, 1995 in Bradenton, Florida and they continued to spend winters in Florida together until his passing on July 4, 2012. 

Doris is survived by her step-daughter, Christine Porras and her fiancé, Brad Osmond; step-daughter, Andrea (Jim) Ankrum; and her step-son, John (Sarah) Reimer. She leaves behind five grandsons; her sisters: Lois Frost, Joyce (Fred) Crosby, and Jane (Daryl) Tessin, in addition to several nieces and nephews who held a special place in her heart.

Doris was predeceased by her parents, her first husband, Philip; second husband, John; son, David; and six brothers: Lowell Schultz, Carl Schultz, Martin Schultz, Edwin Schultz, Ken Kleppert, and Larry Kleppert.
