Doris Louise (Findley) Query passed away Nov. 11, 2015 in her home after a lengthy battle with cancer. She was surrounded by her loving family including her first great grandson, born October 8. Doris was born July 7, 1936 in Parsons, Kan., the daughter of Eldon and Ula (Carr) Findley. She married Dwayne Query on June 12, 1955 in Fort Scott, Kan. Her passion was her family and serving her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She was a deacon at First Presbyterian Church and over the years served as Sunday school teacher for the younger children. She was active in Northern Illinois Tres Dias, having served in many roles, including Rectora. She was a talented seamstress, making everything from pajamas to Barbie clothes for her children and grandchildren. Doris was an active member of 4-H and won grand champion for the suit she made and later entered it in the Kansas State Fair. Her children remember her as a patient, loving, God-filled mom, with a "hidden" sense of humor that was seen from time to time as the "prankster" side of her personality emerged. One time dressing as a gorilla in order to shock a couple of teenage boys hanging out in the basement of her home. She served as a Cub Scout den mother and always prepared specialty birthday cakes for her children ranging from giraffes to model trains. Doris loved to play Scrabble. She looked forward to the challenge that jigsaw puzzles brought her, the more pieces the better and her patience would prevail until the end of completion. And let's not forget that she was an avid fan of Wheel of Fortune and insisted that the DVR be used so she would not miss any episodes.
