Lewistown- Doris Carver, 85, of Gurnee, and formerly of Lewistown, went to be with Jesus Wednesday November 2, 2016 – the day the Cubs won the World Series.
She was born January 5, 1931 at rural Lewistown, the daughter of Clarence and Dorothy (Burgess) Keeler. Surviving are three children, Suzanne Carver of Gurnee, Barbara (Jonathan) DeLew of Wheaton, and John (Elizabeth) Carver of Aurora, seven grandchildren, Tony Fritz, Michelle Carver, Corinne Zuelke, Mark DeLew, Paul DeLew, Michael DeLew, Leah DeLew, and four great grandchildren, one brother, Richard (Shirley) Keeler of Lewistown, and four sisters, Ann (Dick) Sybert of Athens, Marilyn Hauber of Pekin, Karen (Duane) Wegerer of Burlington, IA; and Eleanor (Carter) Taylor of Horse Shoe Bay, TX. She was preceded in death by her parents, one granddaughter, KC Carver and one sister, Frances Schisler.
Doris loved the small-town atmosphere of Lewistown and life on her family farm as the oldest of 7 children. She attended Illinois State University and then married in 1953. The family moved to Brussels, Belgium from 1972-76 where Doris enjoyed traveling and studying French. After returning to Peoria and working in an insurance office, Doris retired to Gurnee, Illinois in 1999. She was active in her church, enjoyed cooking and trying new recipes and was an avid Cubs fan.
