BYRON – Doris Carlson is now singing and dancing with her Lord, having joined Him the morning of Sunday, Aug. 26, 2018, at the age of 93.

She was born Doris Elsie Ingrid Carlson on March 6th, 1925, in Galesburg, to parents Oscar and Maude (Swanson). She loved her work at the Village of Progress in Oregon, and her community at Salvation Army Church.

She is interred at Mouth of Stillman Cemetery in Ogle County, alongside her parents and siblings.

Heaven is made for souls such as yours, Doris. You will be forever treasured.
