Doris Jeanne Lifton née Jones, passed away serenely at the age of 89 on May 18, 2023, in Charleston, SC.

Doris was born on February 26, 1934, and grew up in Edgewood (Pittsburgh) PA surrounded by an extended family.  An outgoing and top student, she attended Allegheny College where she fell in love with Alfred K Lifton from the Bronx, NY. The couple were married in 1954 and retired to Kiawah Island, SC in 1984 after Al's career took them to stops across the country including Valley Forge, PA, Fayetteville, NY, and Danville, CA.  Doris dedicated her life to being a wonderful mother, wife, and sister. She always knew the right thing to say and do and never missed a special date.  She was active at Johns Island Presbyterian Church where she sang in the choir.  Doris moved to Bishop Gadsden after Al's passing (2006) where she was well-loved for her singing and sense of humor. Predeceased by her brother Donald, she is survived by daughter Carey (Jean-Louis), son Doug, his sons Clay and Jesse (Sharon), and their daughter Cora. A celebration of life will be held Tuesday, May 30, in Charleston at Bishop Gadsden in the Gadsden Glen Building, 2nd floor from 2:30pm to 4:00pm.
