Doris Ann Peterson was born April 21, 1939, to Oscar and Mabel Severson in Modena, Wis. She graduated from Mondovi High School and pursued college in Rochester.
Doris loved to read, quilt, take photos, stay active swimming, and spendi time with her family. Doris wore many hats and spent much of her time as the “brains” behind Pete’s Auction and Photo. Doris was always seen with a smile and a camera in her hand.
On September 24, 1960, she was united in marriage to Normen Peterson and they made their home in Wykoff. Norm and Doris built their family, business, and lives together for just over 63 years, celebrating their anniversary just last weekend.
When she wasn’t in her sewing room or reading at her chair, Doris loved to travel, cook, and watch her grandchildren’s activities.
Doris is survived by her husband Norm, three children: Brad (Sherry), Jodie (Bill) and Jana (Joe); grandchildren Michael, Jared (Kelly), Mark (Brianna) and Shauna (Drew); great-grandchildren Keira, Addison, Grayson, Walker and Collin, plus one to arrive in February; her brother Al (Phylis), and many nieces, nephews and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother Merle.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the family.
Hindt-Hudek Funeral Home of Wykoff is assisting the family.
