attended and graduated from Spencer High School. Doris resided in Stevens Point
for a few years where she was employed at Hardware Mutual Insurance (now Sentry

1954. Together, they raised their children, farmed with pride, and loved being
in the country on the Krause Family Farm located in the township of Brighton.
Sadly, her husband Bernard passed away November 23, 1985.
Her hobbies included sewing, making beautiful quilts, taking bus trips with
friends and gardening. Doris loved and cherished all of her family and
especially enjoyed cooking and making delicious meals for them. All at her table
enjoyed fellowship, hospitality and plenty of wonderful food.
Doris faithfully served with St. John's Lutheran and Trinity Lutheran Churches
over her lifetime. She devoted time with Ladies Aid, the Lutheran Woman's
Missionary League and in many ways gave of her time and talents to so many in
her church families.
Survivors include her daughters: Karla (special friend Joe Hollibush) Krause of
Spencer and Nadine (Dean) Willett of Spencer; her grandchildren: Patrick
(Brooke) Krause of Spencer, Dan (Sarah) Krause of Unity, Katie (Justin) Reinwand

Khiah and Vander Krause, Rayna Reinwand and Lydia Strasburg; one sister Louise

friends.

Carroll Oelrich, her husband Bernard Krause, and son Steven Krause.
The family is accepting memorials in Doris's name to Trinity Lutheran
Church-Spencer.
