Doris LaCompte Gardner was born in Manila, Philippines on January 14, 1934. She passed away and went to be with the Lord on Friday, November 11, 2022.
She is survived by her 6 children: Liz Ayson, Terry Abuyen, Gonzalo Gardner, Judy Van Luit, Larry Gardner and Arthur Gardner along with her grand children and great grand children.
Today we honor the life of Doris Gardner. She was truly an amazing Mom, Grandmother, Aunt, Sister, and friend with a heart of gold and a vibrant soul. She dedicated her life to her family by making sure they were supported in whatever they did and they never felt anything but loved.
She sacrificed more that we’ll ever know and even when she was putting everyone else before herself, she still made time to listen to everyone’s problems.
Everyone who was fortunate enough to know her was in awe of her faith in the Lord and her heart and the warmth and happiness she brought to us cannot be overstated.
Doris lived an amazing life, from being a military wife to Lorenzo Gardner her deceased husband and working so hard to provide for her family of 7 children. She did all that and more without ever complaining despite the challenges she faced.
Lastly, and perhaps the key to her happiness, was her underlying faith in our Lord, Jesus Christ.
