Doris Luce Phillips, 98, of Oakland, Maine, passed away on January 09, 2023.

Doris was born on June 10, 1924 to Olivia and Clyde Luce in Oakland, Maine. She graduated from Oakland schools. She met Basil Phillips and they wed on June 29th 1946. They went on to have one daughter, Nancy Phillips LaCombe .

When Doris had Nancy, she decided to dedicate her life to being a fantastic and wonderful mother, as well as grandmother. She also took care of her 2 grandchildren and even great grandson when he was born. She also took care of many relatives and their children as well throughout the years. She also sold Avon for many years and prided herself on being one of the oldest to do so. She also enjoyed Eastern Star meetings later on in life. Doris was passionate about shopping, travelling until she wasn't able to, making her beloved bracelets for friends and family, and watching the Patriots. She was always ready for her weekly shopping trips, going out to eat and of course getting her scratch tickets. Most anyone who met her, would instantly call her Gram. She lived a full life and had fun doing so. We will miss her greatly. Doris was predeceased by her husband, Basil Phillips, 4 brothers, and one sister. Also one grandson in law Tavis Caron. She is survived by her daughter Nancy Phillips LaCombe, son in law Milton LaCombe, Granddaughters Sarah LaCombe [Gabe Martin] and Nicole LaCombe. Her great grandson Matthew Martin whom she loved so dearly. She is survived by one brother Floyd Luce [Cookie Luce] and one sister Mary Luce [Cameron and Alexis]. Sister in laws, Clarita Luce and Gloria Luce. Also many nieces and nephews. As well as special family friend Michael Labbe. Many thanks to Oak Grove nursing home who took care of her over the years. She had many requests, which many of you were able to keep up with. That will forever be appreciated by our family. Due to Doris's previous request, there will be no service.
