Doris (Issokson) Shumrak died peacefully on August 6.
Doris was born in 1927 on Martha’s Vineyard, the daughter of Israel and Dina (Cristol) Issokson of Vineyard Haven. She grew up on the Island. She was musically inclined and loved to play both the violin and the piano. As the daughter of a tailor, she learned to sew and was quite the seamstress in her lifetime.

She was predeceased by her husband Carl and sister Alice (Issokson) Shapiro. She was also sister to Samuel Issokson and Yale Issokson, mother of Ellen (Shumrak) Goldstein and her late husband Joseph Goldstein, mother to Peter Shumrak and his wife Jeanne Shumrak of Natick, and mother of the late Daniel Shumrak.
