Doris Mae Hammes
Doris Mae Hammes (nee Bogenschutz), 86, passed away on Sunday, Nov. 10, 2024, at Aurora Medical Center in Grafton.
She was born on December 28, 1937, to Elmer and Margaret (nee Eisch) Bogenschutz.
Doris loved her time with family, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Doris was a welder for the West Bend Company for many years. She enjoyed her West Bend Company lady lunches, YMCA girls, her TOPS friends and enjoyed playing Sheepshead with her friends. Doris was an avid Packers, Brewers and Badgers fan. She loved traveling to visit her family out of state and her annual mother-daughter trips. Her passion was cooking that was enjoyed by many. Sitting and doing her jigsaw puzzles was fun for Doris. Most of all, Doris did not want people to grieve but to cherish the memories.
