Doris C. Hagdorn-Bartlett

Doris Claire Hagdorn-Bartlett was born Nov. 27, 1939 to Claire and Erwin Hagdorn in Jersey City, NJ. Doris lived in Union City, Palisades Park, and Pompton Lakes, NJ. She graduated from Pompton Lakes HS in 1957. Doris attended Georgian Court College, Lakewood, NJ and graduated in 1961 with a BS in Elementary Teaching. She taught for 4 years in Mount Tabor, NJ. After 4 years Doris was hired by the Department of Defense to teach on military bases overseas. She began at Misawa AFB in Misawa, Japan in 1965. After 2 years she transferred to Kadena, Okinawa for a year. While in the Far East, Doris traveled at every opportunity. She made it as far south as Australia and New Zealand. Then Doris received a transfer to Germany, where she spent the next 27 years teaching in Babenhausen, Frankfurt, Laupheim, Ulm, and Vilseck. Germany was a second home for Doris as she had relatives there that she could visit regularly. While in Frankfurt she met Lt. Col. Dean Bartlett, who she married after his retirement from the Air Force. They enjoyed life in Germany until Doris retired in 1995. Since Dean was from Missoula, MT, they came west looking for a place to settle. They discovered Coeur D'Alene, ID, and made their home there. Dean passed away in 2010. Doris is survived by her brother Peter Hagdorn with wife Lynn; nephew Gerald Hagdorn with wife Michelle, daughters Caitlynne and Caryn, son Jeremy, and grandchildren Ella and Hollis; niece Michelle Craig with husband Bill, daughters Rachel and Meghan; niece Pelar Hagdorn with wife Mandi Risden, sons Luke and Logan; and niece Patricia Morgan with husband Mark, daughters Claire, Adeline, and Theresa.
