Doris Lou Dinsmore Wolfinger, 76, of Tallahassee, Florida, passed away peacefully on July 30, 2015.
Doris was born and raised in Mayes County, Oklahoma, and attended school in Wagoner before graduating from Chouteau High School. She later worked in Tulsa for the Public Service Corporation, and moved to Muskogee County when she married. She and her husband, Tom, owned and operated a restaurant in Boynton and later Wolfinger's Barbeque Restaurant in Oktaha, where they raised their two daughters.

With the spirit of a true pioneer woman, Doris always had a garden growing and a sewing or craft project in the works. She was involved in her local church and the Oktaha Ladies' Club where she readily helped anyone in need.
Upon retirement in 2001, Doris and Tom moved from Oklahoma to Florida, where they enjoyed being involved in the lives of their grandchildren and serving at Morningside Baptist Church in Tallahassee.
