Iva Doris Claude, the daughter of John and Ivy (Thorne) Gatchel, was born July 4, 1915, at Britt. She attended school in Britt until her junior year in high school. She then moved with her family to a farm east of Garner. On June 20, 1934, she was married to Albert Claude at her parent's farm near Garner. They farmed near Stilson before moving to Garner where they continued farming until retiring in 1974. Doris and Albert were proud to have been selected as Farm Family of the Week by the Garner Leader in 1949. In 1985, they moved in to Garner. In September of 2003, Doris entered Concord Care Center in Garner. She loved her family and spending time with them. She enjoyed cooking, especially trying new recipes, playing bridge, and traveling which included trips to England, Alaska, Washington, D.C. and New York City. The highlight of her trip to New York was seeing the Statue of Liberty for the first time. Because she was born on the 4th of July, she was strong in her love for her country, the flag and all patriotic music.
Doris was an active member of the United Methodist Church and UMW.
Doris is survived by her daughters, Sharon (David) Coe of Carbon Cliff, IL, Judith (Donald) Anderson of Britt and Kathryn (Doug) Siverson of Denver, CO; grandchildren, Lori (Phil) Krambeer of Ventura, Brian (Stacy) Anderson of Waukee, Jodi (Jeff) Brown of Albert Lea, MN, Kari (Delbert) McFarland of Ault, CO and Tara Riley of Loveland, CO; fourteen great grandchildren; a brother, James (Kathryn) Gatchel of Garner; a sister, Emma Lou (Lynn) Stayner of Punta Gorda, FL; and sisters-in-law, Robertine Gatchel of Garner and Rena Claude of Garner.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Albert; her parents; grandson, Richard Lang; and siblings, Eva (Ed) Kumsher, Johnny (Pearl) Gatchel and Clarence Gatchel.
