Doris Kurtz Obituary

With solemn reverence, we commemorate Doris Kurtz of Dover, Ohio, whose life came to an end on January 16, 2026 at the age of 79, leaving behind cherished memories. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family. You may also light a candle in honor of Doris Kurtz or send a beautiful flower arrangement to the funeral service.

As Doris departs from this earthly realm, her essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Doris may no longer walk beside us, her spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Doris leaves behind.
