She graduated from Flushing High School and lived her entire life in the Flint-Flushing area. She worked as Stockroom and Quality Control supervisor for Nu-Vision for 24 years, and for the last 10 years she was a bus driver for Genesee Intermediate School District, where she provided kindness, sensitivity and affection for her beloved students. She also worked summers and weekends as a driver for Blue Lakes Charters and Tours for 7 years.  Known for her fun-loving but quirky sense of humor, Doreen had a positive impact on all who knew her. Throughout her struggles with cancer, she was the epitome of courage and strength of character. She fought cancer with a positive attitude and her desire for the preservation of “quality of life”, thus living longer and stronger than her expected prognosis. She focused her energies toward helping other people, love for her family, beautifying her yard, and providing a loving home for her pets: the love of her life, Australian Shepherd “Lady” and sweet kitties – Meow-Meow, Kitty-Kitty and Chloe. She was a member of the local Buddhist chapter of Soka Gakkai International, serving in leadership capacities during the healthier phases of her life.  Doreen is survived by a loving family including: two daughters, Wendy and husband Ray Thorington of Millington, Amy and husband Al Lowell of Mt. Morris; her twin sister, Kathy and husband Ted McIntosh of Flushing; sister, Norma and husband Dennis Bowles of Flint; brother Jim and wife Pam Smith of Flint; brother, Ed and wife Sue Smith of Flushing;  sister, Mary Smith of Flint; grandchildren, Ajia, Allison (and husband, Ryan), Jaye, Samantha, Yaeko, Autum and RJ; great-granddaughter, Quinn; nephews, Steve, David and Trent; nieces, Angie and Jennie; aunt, Mary Hayes of Harrison; uncle, John Smith and wife Linda; cousins and a multitude of friends and acquaintances. She was preceded in death by parents, Richard and Yaeko Smith; grandchildren, Tabitha and Jacob, niece, Jamie Smith.  Heartfelt thanks to Linda, Beverly and Kim of Avalon Hospice for their friendship, kindness and comfort, as well as all Avalon staff. Doreen was especially grateful to her oncologist, Dr. Rizwan Danish, who accommodated her desire for “quality of life.”
