Doris June Meyer was born on August 28, 1925 in Chicago, Illinois. Doris was the third of four children of Patrick McCauley and Eleanor O’Rourke.

Dear Uncle Gene and Family,
We are sincerely sorry for the loss of your dear wife and mother. Aunt Doris deeply loved her family, was extremely proud of them and their accomplishments, and always looked forward to the “next occasion” to be with everyone. I will truly miss my weekly conversations with Aunt Doris. She was always cheery,upbeat,and positive.
With love always, Patsy and Tony

My love to the whole Meyer family. I have the fondest memories of your mom and our time together in Mt. Prospect. I always check out your old house when I visit my mom and think of the fun we had as kids. I hope the family finds peace and happiness despite the sadness of your loss.
