Doris Anthony Schum

On December 10, 2016 Doris Dellinger Anthony Schum work had been done here on earth and she joined her son, Rick Anthony, her husband, Gene Schum, her identical twin sister Dottie, and many other family and friends in heaven. Doris began her life on May 12, 1925 in Hilliard, Ohio and died peacefully at Hospice House surrounded by her family and the wonderful staff of Hospice Savannah. She married Richard Anthony and was blessed with two children, Rick Anthony and Debra Anthony Larson. She later married Gene Schum who became the love of her life, if only for a few short years.



Family and friends were so much a part of Doris's life; she never knew a stranger and everyone loved her twinkling eyes and infectious smile. She loved her granddaughter, who called her 'grams, Stephanie Anthony Peace who married a handsome young man Jason Parker Peace. They blessed Doris with three beautiful great grandchildren, Parker, Lily and RJ.



She came to live in Savannah only 10 years ago, and even though she was a Midwesterner, she came to fall in love with our beautiful city. She resided in Ardsley Park with her daughter Debra and son-in-law Greg Larson. She was a volunteer at Hospice Savannah providing help at Full Circle Grief and Loss, Hospice House and later signing all donor letters sent out by the Hospice Foundation.



A special thank you goes out to our dear friend, Bobbi Hettler who was a constant companion for Doris, the wonderful staff at Hospice House, Dr. Kelly Erola, Dr. Julia Johnson and the many friends who have provided their prayers and support.



A celebration of Doris's life is planned for December 29, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. in the Chapel at Gamble Funeral Service. Burial will take place in the spring in Columbus, Ohio where the family will be celebrating her love for the Ohio State Buckeyes. She was an avid sports fan and loved baseball and college football. 'Go Bucks'.
