Doris Lorene Thomson, 91, of Marietta, Ohio, joined her family in Heaven on Wednesday, April 30, 2014, at Marietta Memorial Hospital. She was born October 9, 1922, in Amherst, NY, to Howard F. and Gertrude Fahning Voelpel. Doris graduated from Williamsville High School in 1939, married James A. Thomson on September 20, 1947, and moved to Marietta in June of 1970. She had worked for Columbus McKinnon Corporation and Remington Rand in Tonawanda, NY, then Dr. Curtis Dehmlow in Marietta. Upon her retirement, she worked for 30 years as the bookkeeper at Thomson's Landscaping, again retiring just two weeks ago.
