Doris M. Spotts Obituary

Doris Marguerite Spotts, 78, of Lake Placid passed away unexpectedly at home on September

18, 2023. She was born in Lake Placid, NY on July 15, 1945 to Earl Blinn and his wife Mary

Marguerite Donnelly.


A lifelong resident of Lake Placid, Doris graduated from Lake Placid High School, and continued

on to work for the Shea Family at both Shea's Market and Mirror Lake Liquor Store. For most of

her life she was a caretaker for multiple great camps on Lake Placid. She retired as caretaker in

2020.


Doris was a very generous person, and thoroughly enjoyed cooking and baking for her friends

and family. Undoubtedly, many of you may have enjoyed some of her famous baked ziti or

banana nut bread at some point. She also enjoyed tending to her gardens and plants, observing

the critters at her bird feeders, soaking in lots of sunshine, and doting on her beloved

grandchildren.


Doris is survived by her husband of 53 years, Chuck Spotts; their sons, Stuart (Laurie) and

Spencer (Christy) Spotts; her brother Pat (Sue) Blinn; her grandchildren, Hunter, Tristan, and

Sofia; and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, Earl and

Marguerite Blinn, her sisters, Frances Perkins, Gwendolyn Watson, Mary Anne Woodruff, and

Gertrude Hammer and brother, Richard Brownie Blinn.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held Friday September 22nd at 11 am at St. Agnes Church in Lake Placid. Rev. John Yonkovig will officiate.
