Doris Del Carmen Colon, aged 89, died peacefully on August 9, 2016 at St. Vincent's Nursing Home in Cedar Grove after a long struggle with Alzheimer's.
Born February 6, 1927 in Santa Tecla, El Salvador, she was the daughter of Agustin and Marta Dominguez. In 1958, Doris married Mario Colon and they decided to make their lives in San Francisco, CA. They eventually moved to Miami, FL in 1971 where Doris worked as a nurse, and finally settled in New Jersey in 1995.
Doris attended Abundant Life Worship Center in Nutley where she enjoyed being in the presence of the Lord Christ Jesus! Passionate about bird watching, gardening and the outdoors, she was an avid reader, and a lover of children and animals. A devout Christian, she walked with the Lord for a good part of her life.
Doris was predeceased by her husband Mario Colon; she is survived by her two sons Frank and Agustin Colon, and by her loving daughter-in-law MaryJo Colon.
A private memorial service will be held for immediate family members at the Abundant Life Worship Center in Nutley.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in her memory.
