Born May 31, 1928 to Albino (Peter) and Rose (Bortoli) Agazzi.
A graduate of Eliza Kelly Grade School, Providence Catholic High School and Joliet Junior College. After raising her children, Doris became a Registered Nurse and went on to practice her profession at St. Joseph Medical Center. She continued to serve the sick as a volunteer with Joliet Area Community Hospice, an organization that was instrumental in easing her path into the next life. A member of the Church of St. Anthony, she loved sharing breakfast with the ladies after weekday services.
Doris was an avid reader who instilled the love of the written word in each of her children, and was formidable in front of a jigsaw puzzle or crossword. She brought peace and tranquility wherever she went.
Doris is survived by her children Mary Terese "Terry" Jostes, Robert L. (Sally) Bertani, Susan Mary Bertani, Amy Maria (Jeffery) Tomczak, Mary Joyce (Michael) Skubic, Matthew Gerard (Kathy) Bertani, Eileen Mary (Todd) Jackson and Peter Paul (Andrea) Bertani; daughter-in-law, Nancy Kyle Bertani, son-in-law Robert Jostes, grandchildren Jennifer Ann (Kirk) Peifer, Christopher Robert (Natalie) Jostes, Wendy Michelle (David) Bergmann, Bryan R. Bertani, Lina Phyllis and Rose Doris Tomczak, Daniel Robert and Sarah Elizabeth Skubic, Anna Rose and Louis Joseph Bertani, Mickey Todd, Chloe Rose and Madeline Grace Jackson; great grandchildren, Emerson Kate Jostes and Nixon Marie Peifer. She is also survived by her nephews, Steven and John (Stephanie) Stobbe, and dear sister-in-law Jean Agazzi.
Preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, Louis R. Bertani (1999), son Joseph Bertani, her parents, brother Gerald A. Agazzi, grandson David Michael Skubic, great grandson Hardy Bertani Bergmann and sister-in-law Jeane Stobbe.
The family is forever grateful for her loving caretakers Alexandra Caldwell and Sue Garcia, who became so much more to Doris.
