Doris, took on the role of caring for her 7 sisters and brothers, when their mother, Chana Biolowaska, died from the Spanish FLu after helping a friend who was sick. Dorils lovingly took care of Ceil, Ida, Ruth, and brothers, Abraham, Michael, and Samuel Bender when the mother died of SPanish Flu. The grandfather was Barney Bender.
