Cambridge, NY- Doris Emily Hunt, 89, of Cambridge, NY passed away Tuesday, May 26, 2020, at the Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation at Hoosick Falls.

Born November 15, 1930 in White Creek, NY she was the daughter of the late Frank and Mary (Blake) Ruggles. Doris attended a one room school house in White Creek, NY.

Doris enjoyed camping at Deer Run in Mechanicville and also in Crown Point with her late husband Robert and her extended family.

As a child they were the holidays that you dreamed about or saw on television.
