Doris “Dory” Jane (Shaffer) McAninch, 79, of Brookville, PA, passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 8, 2024, while a patient at Penn Highlands DuBois in DuBois, PA.

She worked for Sylvania and then for Owens-Illinois; Dory retired from Owens-Illinois after thirty years of service. Dory attended the Brookville Evangelical Methodist Church. Dory will be forever remembered for her baking skills, making her pink icing sugar cookies, cinnamon rolls, and “Grandma Dory’s buns” for every family event. She also enjoyed cooking for her family and friends, even though she could not taste or smell, which she told you every time she cooked for you. Dory loved to go to auctions, she would collect and resell items at her yard sales in the summer that she held with her sister, Mary Ann. She also enjoyed her trips to the ocean and told her granddaughter, Kaylee, to sleep with her windows open so she could hear the waves all night. Dory always put her family's needs before her own. She loved the time she spent with her children, grandchildren, and her extended family. Dory organized the Shaffer Reunion in Cook Forest every year, making sure there was tons of food and activities for everyone of all ages. Dory will be dearly missed by everyone that knew her.
