The House concurrent resolution No. R-232 celebrates the centennial birthday of Doris G. Dexter, who was born on February 3, 1926, in Detroit, Michigan. The resolution highlights her early life as a devoted Tigers baseball fan and her contributions during World War II as a welder at a Cadillac plant. Doris's academic achievements include graduating from Michigan State University, earning a scholarship to study French at the Sorbonne, and obtaining a master's degree from the University of Wisconsin. She has raised six children and is a proud grandmother and great-grandmother, with a passion for languages and travel that has taken her to various countries.
In addition to her family life, Doris Dexter has been actively involved in civil rights advocacy through her volunteer work with the ACLU and other organizations. Her musical talents as a classical pianist and choral singer have enriched her community engagements, particularly after moving to Shaftsbury in 2004. The resolution expresses the General Assembly's congratulations to Doris on her milestone birthday and directs the Secretary of State to send her a copy of the resolution.
