Doris Juanita Abrantes

October 31, 1928 - June 24, 2020

Doris J. Abrantes Our beloved mother and grandmother, Doris Abrantes, went to her home in heaven on June 24, 2020. Doris was born to Carl and Juanita Fickle on October 31, 1928, and grew up in Fresno with her sister Betty and her brother Carl all of whom preceded her in death. She graduated from Fresno High School in 1946. Doris was an artist and spent much of her time drawing and painting up until the very end of her life. She was an avid golfer and followed golf even when she could no longer play. Nothing excited her more than watching the SF Giants win a game. She knew all the players and could give you their stats. Mom’s greatest joy in life was her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and she considered each one a special blessing. Doris is survived by her daughters Kathy Martin of Kingsburg, Laurie Brown and her husband Larry of Clovis; her grandchildren Shannon Coddington and her husband Jason of Kingsburg, Kristy White and her husband Ted of Fullerton, Jeff Brown and his wife Lindsay of Auberry, Nikki Blocker and her husband James of Fresno; and great-grandchildren Morgan, Paige and Chase Coddington, Anderson, Finley and Gus White, Luke and Madison Brown, JJ, Nathan and Briana Blocker. Services will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers remembrances can be made to Trinity Lutheran Church, 3973 N. Cedar, Fresno, CA 93726
