- WIENKE - Doris M. (nee Forkey)
Passed peacefully, at home in North Tonawanda, April 1, 2021. Doris was born on October 28, 1932 in Tupper Lake, New York to Francis and Jane (Ashlaw) Forkey. The oldest of three children, she is survived by her brothers Ernie (Mary Jane) Forkey and Richard (Debra) Forkey, her children Becky Ashford, Roger (Linda) Wienke, Debra (Richard) Stenzel, Keith Wienke, Penny (Brian) Donelson, 12 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews and friends. Doris was an active member of her 1950 NTHS class reunion committee. She raised five children in NT and was a great supporter of her community. She loved to travel and visit lighthouses. She was an avid reader and always had at least one book with her. She delivered Meals on Wheels, ushered for the Riviera and Melody Fair, was involved in scouting and little league football, cheerleading and baseball. She could always be found on the sidelines of all her children, grand-children and great-grand-children's concerts or sporting events (soccer, baseball, hockey, football). Her presence will be missed. No services will be held. "When tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right there in your heart."
