Doris Jean Switzer, 99, of Myerstown and formerly of Lebanon, passed away on Wednesday, March 15, 2023 at Wellspan Good Samaritan Hospital. She was the wife of the late Grant H. Switzer.

Born in Lebanon, PA on January 12, 1924, Doris was a daughter of the late Paul and Cora (Donmoyer) Youtz. She was a member of Mary Gate of Heaven Church. She was a stay at home mother but enjoyed doing volunteer work. Doris was active in the Girl Scouts, Veteran's hospital, and twin club, for which she was one of the few that could boast of having 2 sets of twins. She took great pride in collecting and displaying angels along with unique greeting cards which she enjoyed giving and receiving. For relaxation she loved game shows, movies on the Hallmark channel, card games and the all important Lottery. What really brought the most joy to her were visits from her family. Her mind remained sharp till the end, never missing a birthday or forgetting a name of any of the children, grandchildren or great grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her daughter, Cindy L. who was the wife of Randy Himmelberger and several brothers and sisters. She was also the last surviving person of the 1941 Lebanon Catholic High School class.
