Doris Jean Roll Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

December 19, 2017 Napa, California; Doris Jean Roll was called home to the loving arms of the Lord following a heroic battle with cancer. An unwavering member of her community, Doris served as a volunteer for Community Projects after her retirement from California EDD. She was a faithful follower of God at St. Apollinaris Catholic Church, loved playing Mahjong with her friends, enjoyed plays at the local college, and occasionally treated herself to a movie. She could also be spotted on one of her two-mile walks around the neighborhood. Born Doris Jean Patrick to Bill and Irene Patrick January 8, 1935 on the family farm in Minnesota, she attended Villard school for 12 years graduating with the class of 1952. She played clarinet in the band and was a cheer leader for the basketball team. Doris relocated to California in 1953 and shortly thereafter met her husband to be, Jim Roll. Following retirement, Doris and Jim relocated to Napa, CA where they spent many happy years until Jim’s passing 2013. Doris enjoyed spending time with family, dabbled in porcelain painting and meticulously cared for her home and flower beds.
