Early life on the farm was challenging, but Doris said they never went without food for their bellies or clothes on their backs. She and sisters were always together, helping their daddy with chores and bringing in the cows while riding on the back of Darwin, their trusty steed. She attended high school in Briggsdale. After graduating she became a substitute teacher at a one-room school house in Buckingham, Colorado. On December 22, 1945, she married Lester J. Poush. She worked for Montgomery Ward and Sears in Greeley, Denver and California. She was an avid reader and enjoyed word and jigsaw puzzles. She had a great love for family, adored her sons, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She will be deeply missed by everyone. She is survived by sons, Lester “Jim” Jr. and Pam, and Dean Poush and Paula, daughter-in-law Lynda Poush, sisters Elsie Baldon and Grace Austin, 7 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by husband Lester J. Poush, son Ronald L. Poush, brothers Roy and Don Accola, and sister Jean Scopel.
