Doris Ann (Stoker) Sansoucie of St. Charles, Missouri, died very peacefully in hospice care after battling resurgent lung cancer and dementia at Delmar Gardens West in Town and Country, Missouri on Sunday, April 16, 2023.

Born in Slater, Missouri to Robert and Mildred Stoker on October 22, 1947, Doris worked for McDonnell Douglas Aircraft Company where she met the love of her life, Amiel (Buddy) J. Sansoucie, with whom she was married for 53 years until his passing.  After having two children, Doris’ life was altered by a stroke brought on by hypertension in 1976.  However, Doris continued to thrive and possessed a quiet strength that she carried the rest of her days regardless of what life threw at her.  After her husband’s passing in 2021, her children provided her another source of strength.

In life, Doris possessed a wonderful sense of humor.  All who met and knew her absolutely adored her due to her very good nature and her love of banter.  She is survived by her sons Jeffrey (Geof) C. Sansoucie (generally living abroad with the US Foreign Service) and Gregory M. Sansoucie of Bridgeton, Missouri.  She is also survived by her sister Donna Foltz of O’Fallon, IL and brother James Robert Stoker, Jr.  The most important part of Doris’ life was her family whom she loved a great deal and who were never forgotten even with her late onset dementia.

Arrangements are being handled by St. Louis Cremation.  A small gathering will be held at St. Louis Cremation in St. Peters, Missouri.  At a later date, her ashes will be joined with Buddy, as per their wishes, and laid to rest at Mt. Lebanon Cemetery in Saint Ann, Missouri.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Doris’ memory may be made to the American Lung Association in Missouri https://www.lung.org/.
