Doris A. McDowell Greenwood, a lifelong resident of New Windsor, NY entered into
rest on July 17, 2022 at the age of 87. Doris was born August 15, 1934 to
William and Lillian McDowell of Newburgh, NY. Doris married James Greenwood on
July 31, 1954. They met while both working at the Highland National Bank in
Newburgh, and they were happily married for 48 years before Jim's passing on
January 24, 2002. Doris was a graduate of Newburgh Free Academy, class of 1952.
She loved talking about "the good old days" of Newburgh and always kept in touch
with her many friends from school. She spent most of her working life as the
Jewelry Manager for the Rosenbaum Catalog Showroom located in Vails Gate. She
loved working in the jewelry business at one time or another helped family
members and half of her neighborhood get jobs there! After her retirement, she
always wanted to keep busy and volunteered for numerous area organizations. She
loved to be out doing volunteer work and volunteered at the St. Luke's Hospital
thrift shop, Orange County Garden Club, The Newburgh Historical Society, and
several others. She loved volunteering at the ticket booth whenever the
Philharmonic had concerts at Mount Saint Mary's in Newburgh. She was also an
active member of the Meadow Hill Reformed Church and had served as a Deacon. In
addition to her husband and her parents, Doris was predeceased by her sister
Barbara Secor, sister Jean McDowell, her Brother-In-Law John Antonucci, and her
Sister-In-Law Dorothy (Dot) Antonucci (Greenwood). Doris is survived by her
loving children Kim Razcewski (Robert) of Mifflinburg, Pennsylvania and Jim
Greenwood (Virginia) of Cortlandt Manor, NY. She is also survived by a sister,
Linda Ostrander; and many loving nieces and nephews. She was very blessed to
have six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, all of whom she loved
dearly. Doris was blessed to have loved, and be loved, by so many family,
friends, and neighbors over her decades of life spent in Newburgh and New
Windsor. She will be comforted to finally reunite with her husband Jim who she
has missed tremendously over these past years. - August 15, 1934 ~ July 17, 2022
