Our mother, grandmother and friend passed away Sunday, Feb. 21, 2016, after almost 92 years of living a full and glorious life on this Earth.
Doris was born to Milford Nephi Kunz and Lucie Anna Kochinke in Teton Valley, Idaho, on April 5, 1924.
She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Ray William Moss, and two grandsons.
Doris is survived by her children, Lloyd (Ronda) Moss of Driggs, Idaho, LeRae (Kevin Hill) of Kaysville, Utah, Lindsey (Jan) Moss of Driggs, Lucy (Randy Spencer) of Cary, Ill., Lane Moss of Rexburg, Idaho, Leslie (Brian Fife) of Richmond, Idaho, and Lee (Staci) Moss of Orangeville, Utah; 30 grandchildren; 53 great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren.
Doris met her future husband, Ray, before World War II, as she was attending Ricks College to study for her teaching certificate. After his return from the war, they were married in the Idaho Falls Temple on Sept. 25, 1946. They started out married life working for George and Doris Peacock (long and fast friends) until they purchased the Dalley Place on State Line Road.
Life wasn't easy and both Doris and Ray, some of the hardest working people around, found themselves supplementing farming with various jobs like timber clearing, bus driving, laundry and ironing and teaching.
Doris taught for years with her two-year teaching certificate, but she eventually spent long late hours finishing her bachelor degree with University of Wyoming correspondence and finally a long year in Logan with her six younger children in tow while Ray and Lloyd kept the farm running.
Doris spent all of her life in service to her family and community. Not only did she teach school but 4-H, primary and Sunday school classes. Her door was always open for visitors and strangers, as there seemed to always be hot rolls from the oven and a good amount of butter, jam and cheese.
After 30 years of teaching, Doris continued to stay busy with service to the Teton Valley Museum and Historical Society, Teton Valley Hospital and the library. Countless former students, homemade quilts and jars of huckleberry jam also remind us of her service.
Our family would like to thank the Ashton Living Center for the kind and loving care they have provided for both Doris and our family.
Funeral services will be at 11 a.m. Friday, Feb. 26, at Driggs LDS Church with a visitation from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday at Valley Mortuary and from 9:30 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. Friday at the church prior to services at the church.
