Doris Elizabeth Sides Arend died peacefully at home in the early morning hours on June 20, 2009.
Doris was born October 11, 1926 in Shelby, NC to Suzanna Elizabeth Hart and Arthur Hunter Sides. She grew up in and around Traveler's Rest, SC. She held a deep love for the Smoky Mountains area her whole life.
Doris graduated from the Medical College of South Carolina at Charleston and received her diploma as a registered nurse. As a nurse, she traveled to Saudi Arabia in 1950 to work for the ARAMCO Oil Company. It was there that she met her future husband, Marion "Richard" Arend. Doris and Richard married August 8, 1955 in Geneva, Switzerland. They returned to Cooke County in February of 1956 to farm and ranch southwest of Lindsay. Doris jointed St. Peter's Catholic Church and remained an active member to the end of her life.
Doris and Richard had two children: Rick, born in 1958, and Barbara, born in 1959. Besides being a devoted wife and mother, Doris returned to nursing in the early 1960's. During her 40 year career, she was the night supervisor at the Gainesville Memorial Hospital for several years. She retired in 1987 after 15 years as an industrial nurse at the National Supply Company in Gainesville.
Doris had many varied interests. She was an avid reader until the end of her life. She loved watching movies, listening to music, and singing. She also enjoyed an active lifestyle well into her 70's swimming regularly and traveling the US and Europe with her husband, Richard, and her most beloved sister, Thelma.
The greatest joy in her retirement years was brought by the arrival of her 5 granddaughters. Of all of her roles, Grandma was the one she most cherished. The countless hours spent reading stories, singing songs, and playing games will live on in the memories of her granddaughters forever.
We are grateful for her life and we are honored and filled with her love. She will be missed, but she will live on in our hearts forever.
Doris is survived by her son, Richard Arend of Gainesville and daughter, Barbara Arend of Bedford. She leaves behind her 5 granddaughters: Sarah and Amanda Arend of Gainesville and Shelby, Emily, and Molly Beyer of Bedford.
She was preceded in death by her husband Marion "Richard" Arend, her sisters Clara Reynolds and Thelma Parker, and her brothers Arthur Sides, Jr., and Neal Sides.
