Doris A. Dube

Doris (Labrie) Dube, 81, of Bedford, died on July 11, 2018, surrounded by her family in the comfort of her own home after a brief illness.

Doris' life can be summed up as a recipe, which is fitting due to how much she loved to cook and bake.

Recipe for a Good Life, Inspired by Doris. Start with a generous blend of love, laughter, and plenty of wine. Add family and friends and mix well. Stir in plenty of time with Sister, to go shopping, to watch cooking shows, and experiment with new recipes. Sprinkle with happiness (salt). Shape with hands perfectly manicured.
