Doris Ilene (Hearst) Everett

Doris Ilene (Hearst) Everett passed away May 10, 2016. The family will miss Doris dearly, but through faith, have the assurance she is in heaven singing and dancing with her husband Grant.

Doris was born December 14, 1927 in Detroit, Mich. to Mabel and George Hearst. Her only sibling, Blanche (Hearst) Roels, was born five years later. The family settled in Chicago, Ill. where Doris spent her early years completing her AA degree at Chicago City College in pre-medicine.

The family then moved to Huntington Park, Calif. where Doris met Grant Everett. They were married in 1949 and quickly grew their family to four, Merrill (1950) and Merlene (1953). They lived in Lynwood, La Habra and Fallbrook, always active in their community and the United Methodist Church.

Doris was a homemaker who enjoyed entertaining, singing in the choir, dancing, decorating, family holidays and spending time with her grandchildren and also her great-grandchildren. She and her family took countless camping trips, from traveling across the country and visiting each and every state to having Thanksgiving at the Salton Sea. Christmas was her favorite time of year and she always had a real Santa Claus come to visit the grandchildren to make it truly special every Christmas Eve. She was a competitive bridge player and always enjoyed a good time with friends.

Doris is remembered as a loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother (five), great-grandmother (seven), and dear friend to many!

Please join her family as we celebrate her life at the Fallbrook United Methodist Church May 28, 2016 at 11 a.m. Lunch reception to follow.
