Doris regularly attended our Chamber events.
She will be missed.
Doris Whitesell, a Portage Park resident, has recently made her final transition after an impressive 103 years well lived and loved.
A life-long Chicagoan who adored her five children, two grandchildren, two great grandchildren, and her husband for over 50 years will surely be missed by family, friends and neighbors within the .
Doris was a proud graduate of Von Steuben High School who later attended business school in college which was rare for a woman
during the 1940s.
Her parents taught her the importance of hard work and discipline which were principles that reaped rewards during the Great Depression.
Doris loved her community and being involved in activities that help us prosper. She was a wonderful mother, grandmother and great grandmother who was adored by her neighbors and our office.
May God bless Doris and the entire Whitesell family who were instrumental in helping their mother become a proud . 👏
