Doris Ann Hageman was born March 9, 1945, in San Diego, California, to Urban and Grace (Leibold) Hageman. She graduated from Sacred Heart in Monticello. Doris met Doug Albaugh at the Monticello supper club and dance hall. They were married on April 23, 1971, in Monticello. They enjoyed spending their time together, and Doris was known to ride with Doug while he drove truck. She worked for Collins Radio in assembly until leaving in 1972 to be a stay at home mom to her beloved children. Doris enjoyed gardening, birding, and eating chocolates with coffee. She belonged to the Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall in Anamosa and most recently, Pioneer Avenue in Cedar Rapids. Doris enjoyed her community and all of the events she helped with over the years. Doris loved cats, but what made her smile beam was the time spent with her children and grandchildren. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
She was preceded in death by her parents; brother, Allen; and brother-in-law, Dave Nelson.
I remember Doris teaching me how to dance when I was just starting to go to dances at the community bldg in Monticello
We met Doris and her family in Mechanicsville Iowa and we found them to be a very nice couple, they helped encourage us in the truth and she will be missed. We know through our faith she will be reunited with her loved ones one day. RIP Doris.
I remember long chats about the new world and how she felt about Jehovah. I remember how she always made me feel part of her family. I remember how loving and patient she dealt with difficult matters. 1 Corinthians 15:26 will be a glorious day and it’s just around the corner. My prayers are going up for her family to find the strength they need to cope.
Doris was a beautiful, kind, sweet aunt, and I really loved her laugh. 💕
She always had a beautiful smile! No pain, no more cuz
Doris came from a beautiful family. Thinking of you all. ❤️ Julie & Tom Sadler
I remember when Doris and Doug started dating. She was so sweet and made a great addition to the Albaugh family
Doris was a sweet lady. I knew her as a customer at the bank I worked at. She always had a smile. I loved when Doug was with her and it was clear he did, as well!
Doug and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. You have my deepest sympathies! Praying for you all!🙏🙏🙏
Doug, I am so sorry to hear that Doris has fallen asleep in death. She will be missed but only for a little while. In the meantime, you and your family will be in our prayers. I am so glad I was able to connect up with your family last year when I had come back to Iowa to visit. Friends in the Truth are truly Friends for life, no matter how much time has passed between visits. We all look forward to the future time when we all be welcoming back our Friends and Family and death will be no more! Christian Love from Molly(Bennett)Kohlmeyer in South Dakota.
