Caporale c h a n i c a l ,
ranging
from 4-wheel drive vehi-
cles and classic cars, to his

ing the coast line led Ray
to Florence, Ore., where he
has resided since 1993. He
is survived by his wife of
52 years, Rita; sons Gerred
Caporale (Riley Tuttle) and
Keven (Nicole) Caporale;
stepdaughter Tracy Betts;

ton Caporale and Henley

many at PeaceHealth in

A celebration of his life
will be held at a later date.

consider making a dona-
tion to the Oregon Cancer

family to California.
Her two marriages in-
cluded six children and
spanned
t h r e e
states and
a brief stay
in
Hol-
land.
S h e
married
Orville
Hersey
Doris
Pitney, Jr.
Russell
in 1956,
w i t h
whom she had Alan Fran-
cis in 1959, Karen Gwene-
vere in 1961 and Lorna Re-
nee in 1963.
Later,
she
married
Charles Edward Russell
in 1968, who had Edward
Dale in 1959, Julie Diane in
1960 and Charles David in
1963.
She participated in the
children’s activities in nu-
merous ways; administra-
tive duties in little leagues,
sewing
dance
recital
costumes, hosting scout
badge-earning groups, etc.
As an empty-nester, she
devoted some 20+ years
as a volunteer at a hospital
near her home in Renton,
Wash., where she made
many very dear friends.
The turn of the century
brought many changes and
a few moves to her life. Af-
ter a short stay in Newport,
she settled in Florence for
her next chapter. There, she
embedded herself within
the PCOS congregation
and was so honored to be
invited and accepted into
the Florence DY Chapter of
the PEO Sisterhood.
The many overlapping
communities that wel-
comed her were always
faced with her generous
spirit, eager and endless
smiles and recognition,
the latest movie reviews,
well-informed opinions on
all the latest issues, and the
genuine warmth she always
radiated.
Doris was pre-deceased
by her parents; her sister in
Margaret “Peggy” Phillips,
both of her husbands, and
three of the children.
She is survived by her
sister, Donna Kalberg of
Idaho; her brother Law-
rence Chamberlain of Cal-
ifornia; her son Edward
(and wife Tracy) of Tennes-
see; daughters Julie Budd
of Washington and Gwen
Eastland of Oregon; aunts
Elaine Chamberlain and
Patricia Newlin of Mich-
igan; and many cousins,
nephews and nieces.
The family is honoring
her wishes in not holding a
service but would be most
grateful to all her friends
who might find their own
personal way of remem-
bering her.
Doris has been loved by
many and will surely be
missed.
