Kozak, Doris Ann

Doris Ann Kozak, age 94, of Englewood, Ohio, passed away peacefully in her home on December 1, 2025, with loved ones by her side. Born in McDonald, Pennsylvania, on September 10, 1931. Doris was the daughter of Mina Delilah (Willey) and Sylvester Joseph Williams. She devoted her life to caring for others as a registered nurse, serving as a surgical nurse, working within the VA, supporting private medical practices throughout her long career. Her compassion extended far beyond her profession – Doris had a gift for making people laugh, offering a warm hug, and making everyone feel seen and cared for. She found joy in the simple things: tending her garden, watching the birds outside her window, gathering with others for Bible study and hosting themed parties. Her faith and her gentle, joyful spirit shaped every stage of her life. Doris was preceded in death by her loving Husband: Eugene Edward Kozak; her parents and her six siblings. She is survived by her 11 beloved Children: Gene (Linda) Kozak.
