Doris Stanley

Doris Stanley, 90 of North Scituate passed away peacefully at home with her devoted children by her side, on Thursday July 28, 2022. Born in Providence, she was the daughter of the late Ovila and Alice (Blake) Imbeault. She was the beloved wife of the late Edward J. Stanley for 53 years until his passing in 2006.

Doris enjoyed using her artistic talent hand-painting jewelry for a prominent jewelry company in Providence, as well as, many other arts and crafts at home. She was also an excellent cook who loved to entertain family and friends.  Christmas Eve was by far the favorite holiday that she hosted.  Along with cooking, she loved to dine at some of her favorite restaurants.  Doris had a way of creating meaningful friendships that often led to friends becoming part of her extended family.  She was the glue that kept her close-knit family together.  New babies would light up her life, we will always remember her expression of joy when she would hold them for the first time.

Doris is survived by her daughter Jacqueline M. McKenna and her husband John “Jack” McKenna of Hope, and her son Edward J. Stanley, Jr. and his partner Valerie Dulin of Coventry.  She was predeceased by her siblings P. Marie McLachlan, John Imbeault and Joseph Imbeault.
