Doris Marie Grimm passed away on July 31, 2018 after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born in Bryn Mawr, PA on June 29, 1937 to Mildred and Bill Hinderscheid. Doris attended the Merion Mery Academy in Merion, PA and Marymount Jr. College in Arlington, VA. After college she worked for two surgeons at Bryn Maur Hospital for six years. She married Bruce Grimm in 1962 and a year later they moved to Minnesota. Bruces business in sales required many moves which Doris looked forward to as adventures and an opportunity to meet new people and make new friends. In 2010, after retiring in FL near Bruces mother, she and Bruce moved to Middlebury to be closer to children and grandchildren. She is survived by her three childrenKaren, who resides in Middlebury with her partner Catharine; Bob, who recently moved to Middlebury from Raleigh, N.C.; and Steve, who lives in Charlotte with his wife Heidi. She is also survived by her five grandchildren, Austin, Emily, Elizabeth, Spencer and Adela, and step-grandchildren Rosalie and Forrest. Her older sister Betty Gray of Gainesville, GA is her only remaining sibling. Doris was always active in volunteer work in the schools her children attended and in the many quilt guilds she belonged to over the years. She quilted and knitted both as an artist and as a way to give back to her community. She especially enjoyed making and collecting quilts and knitting sweaters for the Head Start program in FL and VT. She also helped with lunches at the Middlebury Charter House, played Bridge with friends, and volunteered at the Peasant Market. She was an avid reader of literature and belonged to two book clubs. A true lover of life, Doris enjoyed family, friends, dancing, music, flowers and laughter. She will be sorely missed by all those whose lives she touched. Her family would like to thank Dr. Eileen Fuller, Hospice worker Korri Wass, Lucy Pelligrini and all of her close friends who have helped her family through this journey.
