Doris M. Bischoff, age 92 of Montville died peacefully on Saturday, January 24, 2015. She had lived in Nutley and Bloomfield before moving to Montville nearly twenty years ago.
Raised on Long Island with her three younger siblings, she sadly lost her mother when she was just thirteen years of age. Her father, Reverend Charles Pepoon, nurtured them all in a faith-filled home. Her love of Jesus Christ was forged during those earliest years and she was a faithful servant of the Lord throughout her entire life. As a member of the Trinity Baptist Church in Montville, Doris was a private person, yet very involved with her faith community and always willing to help out in any way that she could. On Sundays, she often hosted different guests whom she had met in church, sharing a meal between the morning and evening services. She loved to entertain at her home and enjoyed the fellowship she shared with other church members.
Doris met her husband Paul at Trinity Baptist Church and the two of them were married in 1973. Their faith brought them together and was an integral part of their loving relationship throughout the years. They were a cute couple, like best friends, and always held hands when they were together. They had traveled a bit, visiting New England during the fall foliage season as “leaf-peepers,” and they also had been to London a few occasions. They never had an argument and Doris always took great care of Paul, especially in his later years. They enjoyed thirty years together before Paul passed away in 2003.
In recent years, as Doris aged, she was blessed with wonderful caregivers. She will forever be grateful to Laura Schreiber for her loving support during the past few years, as well as Ruth and Rich Densel who helped her so much – especially when they treated her to chocolate chip mint ice cream, which was her favorite.
Doris is survived by her two step-children; Paul Bischoff and his wife Karen of Long Branch, Gail Taddeo and her husband Bob of Vernon, two grandchildren; Alycia Bischoff of Long Branch and Gregory Taddeo and his wife Maryam of Vernon, two great-grandchildren; Greg and Harrison Taddeo, two step-sisters; Clara Mae Ryder of Arizona and Alice Gordon of Long Island, and many dear, loving friends. She was predeceased by her sister Eunice Hilliard, and by her brothers; Rev. Paul Pepoon and Rev. Mark Pepoon, and by one niece; Judy Hilliard.
