Doris made a huge impact on the Eudora community and she will be deeply missed. Doris was very active with the Eudora Area Historical Society (EAHS) for many years, especially in the 2010s. Doris could be counted on to volunteer with the EAHS whenever she was needed. Doris helped us out with field trips, all of the times that the museum moved locations, fundraisers, special events, programs, and a number of other projects. The EAHS will always be grateful for Doris’ staunch support over the years! Doris was a very proud Eudoran; her ancestors included some of the earliest German immigrant families that moved into the Eudora Area in the 1800s. Doris was also an expert on the History of Hesper. All of us with the EAHS extend thoughts and sympathies to Doris Schehrer’s friends and family.
So sorry to hear of the loss of Doris. My thoughts are with the family during this difficult time. Thinking of you all!
Prayers and hugs to the Schehrer family on the loss of Doris, Grandma Dodie. She certainly led an active life and I know you all cherish her memory. She will definitely be missed, but she is now at peace with the Lord. ##hatedementia

Dear Kim, JD & family. So sorry for your loss. Your Mother was one of the first people Trevor, Brooke & I met when we moved to Eudora. She was such a warm outgoing lady.
