Dick would rent Doris\u2019 horse and they fell in love ten years later while both were at Stanford University.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Doris was born in Placerville, CA. She grew up on a cattle and sheep
\nranch in Calaveras County and attended the one room schoolhouse in
\nMilton. She graduated from Calaveras High School and attended College
\nof the Pacific before transferring to Stanford. Doris and Dick were
\nmarried on Doris\u2019 21st birthday while still students.<\/p>\n
After graduation they remained in Palo Alto, raising their two sons and
\nbeginning a life-long commitment to community service. During their 58
\nyear marriage they were a devoted, inseparable and gracious couple.
\nIn Salem between 1958-1977, Doris demonstrated compassion for people
\nin need. She chaired many organizations including the Salvation Army
\nAdvisory Board, the Salvation Army Building Fund Drive, the YWCA
\nExpansion Fund Drive, and the Salem Technical Vocational College
\nCommittee. She served on the Board of Salem General Hospital and was
\nPresident of the Assistance League. Doris was also campaign manager for
\nseveral successful candidates for the Oregon State Legislature.
\nDoris and Dick moved to Murphys in 1977 after Dick retired. They both
\ndevoted time, talent and passion to their community.<\/p>\n
Doris was Founding President of the Mark Twain Medical Center
\nFoundation and supported California Youth Mentoring and Mind Matters
\nClinic in Murphys. A breast cancer survivor, she gave the lead gift to
\nbring digital mammography to Mark Twain Medical Center. The Doris
\nBarger Golf Tournament, now in its ninth year, has raised funds for the
\nHospital Foundation and women\u2019s health. Doris was honored with the
\nMark Twain Health Care District Lifetime Achievement Award in 2014.
\nShe was a dynamic organizer and hands on volunteer and enjoyed her
\ninvolvement with the Angels-Murphys Rotary.<\/p>\n
Doris was an amazing role model for family and friends. She was an avid
\ntraveler, frequent entertainer and had a quick-witted humor. She always
\ntreated people with respect and in return was loved and respected by all
\nwho knew her. She had a big heart and got tremendous satisfaction from
\nhelping those less fortunate.<\/p>\n
We will miss Doris\u2019 inspiring legacy but are consoled by the fact that she
\nlived a long, immensely happy and productive life. Her love, spirit and
\nenergy will live on.<\/p>\n
The family wishes to thank the staff at Mark Twain Hospital as well as
\nher loyal caregivers for their wonderful support and care, especially her
\n\u201cshadow\u201d Nicole Miller. We also thank Dr. Ryan Thompson for his loving
\ncare and Alison and Alan Dove for their devoted friendship.
