Ethelyn M. Doze died Thursday, Oct. 29, 2015. 

She joined her husband, Joe Doze, 6 months to the day of his passing. 

Ethelyn was born on Dec. 13, 1938, in Breckenridge, Minnesota, the daughter of Elmer and Margaret (Berg) Lerrbakken and the oldest of their 10 children.
After graduating high school, Ethelyn attended Southeast Area Vocational School in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where she graduated with honors, with a degree in accounting. 

She worked many years for an insurance company in Sioux Falls. 

During that time Ethelyn met the love of her life, Joe Doze. 

They moved to Marble Falls in 1994, where she was employed at Mustang Implement.

She is survived by: her granddaughter, Miranda Diespieger; brother, Michael Lerrbakken; sister, Candela Lerrbakken, and sister and brother-in-law, Anita and Duane Heley. 

Ethelyn was preceded in death by: her parents; son, Kevin; brother, Clifton; and five sisters, Darlene, Sandra, Cynthia, Darla and Tammy.
Ethelyn is also survived by two stepsons:  Larry  and wife Angela and Dan Doze of Austin. 

She is also survived by two step-grandsons, two step-granddaughters and seven step-great-grandchildren.
Ethelyn was very active in the Marble Falls VFW Ladies Auxiliary, where she served many years as the organization's treasurer.
Although her family felt that she left too soon, we take comfort in knowing that Ethelyn is now with her husband, Joe.
The family wants to thank Seton Northwest Hospital, Dr, Haik and so many wonderful nurses for their tender care and compassion.
A memorial service to celebrate Ethelyn's life will be held this coming Monday, Nov. 30, 2015, at 11 a.m. at the Marble Falls VFW Post, 1001 Veterans Avenue, Marble Falls.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the VFW Ladies Auxiliary, Marble Falls.
