Doris E. Rude
MARQUETTE, MI – Doris Ellen Rude, 92, of Marquette and formerly of Columbiaville, MI, passed away on October 7, 2018 after a lingering illness.

Doris prided herself in being an impeccable homemaker for her family. She enjoyed working outdoors in their yard where she kept the shrubbery trimmed to perfection.

Per her wishes cremation has taken place and a small memorial service and burial will take place in the Spring of 2019 at the Deerfield Township Cemetery.
