Doris Louise Martin, age 82, of Hagerstown, MD, entered eternal rest with her Lord and Savior on Sunday, September 20, 2026.

Mrs. Martin was a 1962 graduate of Greencastle-Antrim Senior High School. She later attended Hagerstown Junior College.
Mrs. Martin was a member of Northside Mennonite Church, where she played the organ for many years.
