The family moved to Oregon in 1963

Katie enjoyed sewing, was an avid reader and loved game shows.
She worked on several community benefit projects and helped orga
nize the West Valley Planners to aid local jobless after the plywood
mill closed.
She had numerous friends, many of them from places she worked. To
support her family, most of the work she performed ranged from hard
to backbreaking. She lovingly cared for the ill and aged as a nursing
aide, co-owned a local restaurant, worked in the plywood mill and
ended her working career in the wardrobe department at the Spirit
Mountain Casino in 2004.
On May 9, surrounded by her loving children, Katie moved on to
be with her Lord where she is free of pain and loved beyond imagina
tion. Katie is survived by her siblings Margaret Kanta of Forsythe, MT
and brother Lee Doss of Grand Ronde. Her brother Joseph Doss
passed on in 1986. Surviving her are children and spouses Candia
