Hi Ursula,
Very nice to make your acquaintance. I did not realize that there was such
a project but I think it's fantastic! I can help you with some details if
you'd like.
Some additional updates:
Doris Margaret (Reynolds) Leazier is the daughter of Henry and Josephine
(Hahnenberg) Reynolds. Doris recently passed away on Aug. 29, 2014. She
was born July 11, 1924, in Lake Leelenau, Mich. Doris was married to
Truman Leazier. Truman was shot down over Japan during WWII and made his
way to Australia. Doris was informed that Truman was dead so she
remarried to Truman's brother Clifford Leazier and they had a son named
Clifford Jr. Truman also had fathered a son in Australia, whose name I
cannot remember at this time. Eventually Truman made his way home, and he
and Doris were reunited. Truman and Doris had at least two children,
Jeanie Leazier and Lori Leazier. Lori passed away sometime ago.

in putting this together.

- [S927] Obituary.
Doris Margaret Leazier joined her fellow saints Aug. 29, 2014.
She was born July 11, 1924, in Lake Leelenau, Mich., to Josephine (Hahnenburg) and Henry Reynolds.
During Doris’ high school years, the very musical Reynolds family moved north to the Boyne Falls/Elmira area where Doris’ love of learning blossomed and she became valedictorian of her graduating class of Boyne Falls Agricultural School.
Doris’ reputation as an extremely dedicated worker was evident on the farm and at her factory jobs. She retired from Gaylord Standard Products (now Cooper Standard) after completing many years; appreciated by employer and employees, she often received the “Employee of the Month” award.
Music was hugely important in Doris’ life. She encouraged the musical talents of old and young alike, and could be found at the center of many parties and sing-alongs at the piano, organ, accordion or keyboard.
Doris enjoyed being outdoors; her highly independent nature found her outside raking leaves or pushing snow around to make her home more available to guests. She enjoyed fishing trips to the U.P. with the family.
Doris’ middle name was actually “service.” Whether it was a youngster or young couple needing a temporary place to stay, or a reluctant, yet desperate, hand needing some cash to carry them through, Doris never, ever hesitated even a second. She made us feel like we were doing her a favor by accepting her generous help.
Doris was a marvelous cook; her fried chicken, apple salad and peaches and crème are just a few of her legendary treats we all savored. She was a “food diva” whose tasty treasures we totally enjoyed celebrating.
Doris was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Truman C. Leazier; and daughter, Lori Renee. She is survived by her children, Clifford of Ada, Mich., Robert of Woodland, Mich., and Jean Corpe of Gaylord; brothers and sisters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
The funeral service will be 11 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 6, at St. Mary Cathedral in Gaylord.
Visitation will take place 7-9 p.m. today, Friday, Sept. 5, at Nelson Funeral Home in Gaylord and will continue on Saturday beginning at 10 a.m., until Mass begins.
Memorial contributions may be made to Catholic Services Appeal or a charity of choice.
