DJ was born the third daughter of James Arthur and Marie Manorgan. Doris graduated from Cody High School in 1965 and received a BA in Liberal Arts from Gonzaga University in Spokane, Wash. in 1969. Later, DJ volunteered in the USO and served as a volunteer in Korea for a year (1970-71).
While working as an office manager at Pahaska Tepee on the Northfork in the summer of 1972, Doris met the love of her life, Colin Cunningham, also an employee at Pahaska, who survives. Doris married Colin in September of 1972 and moved to the British Isles: Liverpool, England then to Glasgow, Scotland. Their two sons, Arthur and Chay were born in Scotland.
The family moved back to Wyoming in 1977 and settled in Casper for many years. DJ worked as a Family Counselor and as a tax consultant at H&R Block. DJ continued her work in counseling also in Clarkston, Wash., and most recently in Cody where she has resided since 2004. She was also employed by the Catholic parish St. Anthony of Padua and has started many new programs for the parish and the larger community including the New Evangelization Retreat, the Christmas Wish baskets and a prayer shawl ministry.
Besides her husband of 46 years, Colin, and her sons, Arthur (Jennifer) of Boise, Idaho, and Chay of Cody, DJ is survived by her beloved border collie, Tyree. Also, surviving are her sister Ann Avery-Jones (John) of Gloversville, N.Y.; brother-in-law Ken Cunningham and sister-in-law Elspeth, both of Glasgow, Scotland. She is further survived by five nieces: Charlotte Langaas (Teresa) of Salem, Ore.; Suzanne Colling (Bruce) of Cheyenne, Wyo.; Becky Hancock (John) of Portland, Ore.; Leslie Griffin (Danny) of Corvallis, Ore. and Christine Draper (Dennis); two nephews, Aaron Avery and William James. Many great nieces and nephews also survive as well as her beloved cousins: Steve and George Simonton, Judy Catchpole, Bruce Cutlip , Katherine Patterson and many cousins residing in Scotland.
DJ was predeceased by her parents; her in-laws, sister Mary Lu Langaas (Conrad) of Cheyenne; brother-in-law Bart Avery of Gloversville, and sister-in-law Margaret Cunningham of Scotland.
DJ’s kindness, caring, and sensitivity will be greatly missed. In her quiet way, she exhibited strength and leadership. She reached out to the people around her with love and compassion and touched the hearts of all who knew her. DJ spread JOY and will be remembered with many smiles.
DJ’s greatest joys included: playing fetch with Tyree in her backyard; driving up the Northfork or the Southfork; traveling over the high road through the Beartooths; visiting with friends; enjoying a “getaway day” in Yellowstone with Colin; taking a picnic to a quiet scenic spot; sharing her Faith; watching Rockies baseball; spending a few nights at Colter Bay in the Tetons; traveling to visit her boys; remembering the good times growing up in Cody; decorating the “little pine tree” for the seasons; watching birds, bears, wolves, swans, buffalo, chipmunks, etc.; enjoying the beauty of God’s creation; scattering joy; serving ice cream, and just being in the moment and making the most out of every one.
