Doris Sathe, 91, of Williston, North Dakota, passed away Thursday evening, July 12, 2012, at the Bethel Lutheran Home in Williston.
Doris Johnson was born to Adolph and Mary (Offerdahl) in Fargo, North Dakota on January 31, 1921. She was raised in Valley City, graduated from Valley City High School with the class of 1938.
On November 9, 1941, Doris was united in marriage to Irving Bruce Sathe at Olivet Lutheran Church in Fargo, ND. They owned a grocery store in Neche, North Dakota before moving to Grand Forks so Bruce could attend University of North Dakota. They made their home in Grand Forks before moving to Williston where Bruce owned and operated Sathe Laboratories from 1954 until 1984. Bruce passed away on March 23, 2003.
Church played a very important role in Doris’s life, she was active in many roles at First Lutheran Church including Sunday school teacher to many children including the three-year olds! and being a mentor to newly immigrated families to help them adapt to society. Doris helped form a mid week church school for the developmentally disabled at First Lutheran. After Bruce’s death, Doris sold her home and moved to live at the Kensington in Williston, where she took on the self-appointed role of Church Attendance Monitor, encouraging residents to attend church services and gently reminding pastors if they happened to forget a service. Aside from church, Doris also enjoyed needle point, cross stitching and knitting.
Surviving Doris are her sons, Robert Sathe and his wife, Dell Ann, of Cincinnati, OH and Donald Sathe and his wife, Beverley, of Katy, TX; one brother, Ron Johnson; one sister, Grace Sehler; nine grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Bruce; daughter, Georgia Schubert; parents Adolph and May Johnson and sister Frances (Pat) Dean.
