Doris K Martin

June 21, 1935 - February 15, 2021

MARTIN - Doris (nee Slattery) of North Tonawanda, February 15, 2021. Wife of the late Kenneth; beloved mother of late Kenneth, Barbara (Gene) Lorango and Brian; sister of Jean Gronek, late Jim and late Jack Slattery; grandmother of Carly, Andrea, Blake, Angeline, Jennifer and Megan; also survived by 10 great-grandchildren, many nieces and nephews. A viewing will be held Friday, February 19, 2021 from 4:30-6 PM, in North Presbyterian Church, 168 Payne Ave., North Tonawanda, where Funeral Services will follow at 6 PM. Before retiring in 2003, Dorie travelled by bus each day, for over 30 years, to her job as a Purchasing Agent for Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo. Prior to that she worked in the main office of NT High School where she monitored the shenanigans of many teens that would become life-long friends. Doris was kind-hearted and a friend to all; her door was always open. As a member of the Dom Polski Social Club, she enjoyed many nights of laughter, shuffleboard, dancing & music. She served on their Board of Directors and volunteered many hours assisting charitable events and weekly Bingo games. Dorie backed the Buffalo Bills & was able to rouse the entire room with her unique chant. She was proud of her Irish heritage, was always up for an adventure, a campfire, a party, and a few beers. She listened and advised without judgement and always said to “keep the faith”. Dorie will be greatly missed. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to North Presbyterian Church, Niagara Hospice or wherever your heart leads you.
