Doris Neralich Remembered

(February 2008)

Doris Neralich, the woman I will always remember as the woman in the front row at our meetings, passed away on January 21, 2008. Her husband, Joseph, preceded her in death.

Doris had two children, Judy Spenner and Steve Neralich. Judy’s son Steve brought his grandmother to the HSCSS shows and some of the meetings. Steve was also an HSCSS member.

Doris was a member of many groups: Jefferson County N.W. Friends of the Library, National Association of Letter Carriers and National Association of Retired Federal Employees.

Doris first joined the Henry Shaw Cactus Society in 1973 and remained a loyal member until her health began to fail. HSCSS made a donation to the Desert House Fund in honor of Doris Neralich.
