Throughout her life, Doris was a wonderful seamstress, enjoying knitting and crocheting. She loved to watch birds, but most of all loved traveling in her retirement with her husband and wintering in Florida.

Doris was a member of the Avon Park United Methodist Church in Avon Park, Florida.

She is survived by her daughter, Rebecca (James) Henderson of Norman, Oklahoma; one son, Mark (Valerie) McCracken of Ashland; a daughter-in-law, Sandy McCracken of Mansfield; ten grandchildren, Carrie Geib Sterling, Jason Geib, Janie Chadwick, Amanda McCracken, Bill McCracken, Megan Schaeg, Melissa James, David Braun, Joseph Braun, and Cristen Braun; 13 great grandchildren; one great-great grandchild; one brother, Barney Crowell of Bristol, Pennsylvania; and one sister, Donna Sturdevant of Ocala, Florida.

In addition to her parents, Doris is preceded in death by step mother, Helen Crowell; her loving husband of 48 years, William McCracken on July 7, 1999; one son, Daniel McCracken; one daughter, Susan Braun; one brother, Paul Crowell; and one sister, Gertrude Duell.

A memorial service will be held at a later date in Corry, Pa with interment in the Concord Center Cemetery with her family.
