Theisen, Doris Anna (nee Wetor) peacefully passed away on Monday, February 25, 2019 at the Sunrise Care Home in Paradise Valley, Arizona. Born on May 26, 1921, Doris lived 97 wonderful years. She was preceded in death by her parents Frank and Anna (Schneider) Wetor, her 4 brothers and 3 sisters and her beloved husband Melvin N. Theisen in 2009. Both Melvin and Doris were born and grew up in Belgium and Dacada, Wisconsin respectively. They married in May of 1946 and moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1961.
In her early years Doris worked at the Allen Edmonds shoe factory. She had a heart of gold, was so outgoing toward people and loved music. She played accordion and organ and her talents ranged from church to polka to patriotic music. In recent years her passion was knitting baby hats for a local hospital maternity ward. She will be missed by many nieces and nephews.

    I will always remember Doris as the most kindest, caring person I knew, when took our family into their home when we moved to Phoenix in the late 1960’s. She had a great sense of humor, and loved music. may you rest in peace.
