Marsha and Shelley, When I attended “Summer ’66: Beyond Protest” in Fifth City, Doris was one of three staff for our university group. She was a daily presence for six wonderful weeks – with her unique teaching style and care for us as well as 5th City. She always demonstrated profound care throughout her life. I am adding a photo of her to my ofrenda (altar) to remember her always. Peace and love, Karen

love the footprints. In many locations (India, central Texas. She and Charles were our rocks, our wisdom and our friends. I am remembering foot massage at a WSR in her yard in Bastrop.

Thank you Marsha! Your mother as well as your father were a big part of the loving foundation of the Order:Ecumenical, and they were each very kind to the Lingo family over the years. I am especially appreciative of your mother's Texas roots.Her attentiveness to obituaries in the Austin Statesman and her reporting to all of us of the death of Jack Lewis was very helpful to me. Both of your parents lived lives of exemplary devotion and integrity! What a blessing!May we, along with you, Shelley, and your partners now celebrate Doris' very great life.

My heart is breaking with this news. It feels like there’s a big hole in it that Doris had once filled. She was a wonderful, wonderful human being! Martha

I first met Doris Hahn when I took the Institute's Pastor Leadership Colloquy (PLC) in New York in 1969. She was one of the pedagogues for the course and she certainly showed her gift for teaching! I was impressed! What also made an impression on me was when some weeks later she dropped in to talk to me personally while visiting the Dewey Avenue Presbyterian Church in Rochester, NY as a way of following up on the course. At that time, I was Assistant to the Senior Pastor Charles Taylor. Doris was not only a gifted teacher, but she was also a very kind, diligent, and dedicated worker for the Order and it's mission. We indeed celebrate her life and mourn her passing!Carleton and Ellie StockOberlin, Ohio On Saturday, September 20, 2025 at 07:55:25 PM CDT, Marsha Hahn via OE <oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote: We wanted to share that our mother, Doris Hahn, completed her journey on earth on September 19, 2025.

I would like to join the chorus of appreciation for your mother's life! She was an incredible tower of strength and so caring at a point in my life when I needed it. I celebrate her being!

Dear Marsha and Shelley, I was so sad to hear of Doris’ passing. I too add my voice to the honour roll of your mother’s life of service. While I first met Doris in Chicago it wasn’t till our paths crossed in India that I really encountered the ‘greatness’ in both your mom and dad. I remember Charles, in a meeting in India very clearly articulating the tension between our financially constrained circumstances and our sense of responsibility, when he said “the ICA always honours our obligations.. we may just not do it in the timeframes expected of us”. I joined the “LENS” team in India when Doris was leading it, and among the many things I learned from her was that profound care for a client is also exhibited in the details. Her comment to a colleague then about the state of the polish on his shoes has me looking down at my shoes every time I stand in front of a group. I celebrate a great life lived.

Marsha and Shelley, I sit in gratitude for the woman your mother was, for her mentoring me, her deep and gentle wisdom and her guidance that kept me grounded and sane as I struggled to fulfill assignments and live in service while feeling out of my depth much of the time. A sainted presence I miss. May your own memories carry you through the grief.
