Doris Leon was born on January 25, 1949 in Sheboygan and passed away at her home peacefully on December 22, 2024 at the age of 75 surrounded by her loving family as she entered eternal life. She attended local schools and graduated from Sheboygan South High School with the class of 1967. During her working years, she was employed by Richardsons and Walgreens. Doris enjoyed the simple things in life, whether that be taking a drive through the countryside, watching Packer games, going to her church life group, or getting food with friends and family. She was a lot of people’s special “Granny D” and made a huge impact on those around her. More than anything, she enjoyed spending time making memories with her family, and being with her late dog and companion, Scooter.

Doris is survived by her son, Joseph (Cindy) Leon; grandchildren, Garett, Laticia (Jack), Shaina (Lance), Anthony; greatgrandchildren, Jordan, Jayden, Serenity, Eliana, Natalia, Sierra, Hunter, Gunner, Slade, Kelsi, Bryant and Dallas; sister, Gertrude “Cookie” (Sparky); unofficial children, Elizabeth (Luis); unofficial grandchildren, Brandi and Lorena and unofficial great grandchildren, Seyveon, Ermias, Alessio. She is further survived by other family members, friends and her Crossroads church family. She is preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Erna Jakel; brother, Anthony Jakel; sisters, Ellen Marie (Leo) Simon, Carol (Orville) Schultz and Dorothy (Dottie) Jakel and great grandson, Isaiah Kahler.
