Doris A. Oliver, born March 11, 1937 in Kearney, Nebraska, passed away November 22, 2022 at Hillcrest Nursing Home in McCook, Nebraska. She will be missed by so many. Her children: Sandra (Mike) Teel, Mark (Kay) Oliver, Dennis (Brenda) Oliver, Daniel (Rita) Oliver, and Richard (Evelyn) Oliver wish to thank the many friends and caretakers who helped Doris make her journey home. We are sure she has been reunited with her husband (our dad), Benny Ray Oliver; her parents, Elmer and Ruth (Puttergill) Shormann; her brothers, Charles (Kathy) Shormann and Clarence (Sue) Shormann; her sister, Shirley (Lonnie) Todd; plus numerous family and friends. Her beloved sister, Delene Lueken, still lives in Kingman, Arizona. Doris much loved ten grandchildren: James, Heather, Heath, Taryn, Matthew, Briana, Chris, Benny, Brady, and Alexis, along with her twelve great-grandchildren will miss GG greatly. She loved babies and was looking froward to two new great-grandchildren. Our mother was a dedicated nurse for most of her life. She graduated from Shelton High School, then went to and received her degree from Duchesne College. She worked for many years at Lutheran Memorial Hospital in Grand Island and later at Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney. She was always taking care of someone. We are a wrestling family. Her four boys all wrestled; a couple even still coach it. She loved the sport. Doris followed Nebraska football and loved watching a good game of volleyball or baseball. Our mother had many hobbies. Her main one was quilting. She loved mixing and matching the colors into special designs for each of her loved ones. She also liked to collect recipes; she could always find you a new recipe if you asked. Doris liked to garden. She canned everything. She liked a good game of cards and Chinese checkers. She loved listening to what she called good music and enjoyed a healthy discussion of politics. She was our mom! We look forward to the day we will see her again. Doris' family honored her wish to serve as an anatomical gift participant with the Nebraska Anatomical Board. A memorial service is being planned for a later date. Memorials are suggested to the family of Doris Oliver for future designation. Online condolences may be left at herrmannfh.com. Arrangements have been entrusted to Herrmann-Jones Funeral Chapel of McCook.
