Ethel "Doris" (Scott) Roderick, 95, of Cook, MN passed away on Thursday, August 6, 2020.

Doris was born to Carl and Sigri (Holter) Scott on March 15, 1925 in Cook. Doris grew up and attended school in Cook, graduating from Cook High School in 1942. Doris met her future husband Donald in high school. He had come with his parents from Mason City, Iowa, to work on a farm in Cook. The couple were united in marriage on September 27, 1944, in Cook.  The young couple moved to the Cities where Donald worked construction. Doris and Don raised their children in the Cities, but returned every summer to spend time at their cabin on Lake Vermilion. After the couple retired, they spent their summers at the lake cabin and wintered in Florida. Sadly, Donald passed away in 2003.

Doris loved to sew and she constructed many quilts; every grandchild had a quilt made by Grandma. Doris enjoyed cross stitching, doing crossword puzzles and picking blue-berries. She was an excellent cook and baker; every person in her family would get a German chocolate cake for their birthday. Doris passed some of her cooking talent down to her family; she taught them how to make her famous Lefse. When Doris was in Florida, she spent hours walking the beach picking seashells.

Doris was a quiet and caring person. She also had a sharp, quick sense of humor and would often "knock the socks off" of her caregivers with her jokes. She also had her own funny sayings like "up to your ear-balls", and her family would laugh and tell her that it was "eyeballs" Grandma…. "eyeballs". Doris was loved and will be dearly missed.

Doris was preceded in death by her parents; her beloved husband of 58 years and 4 months, Donald Roderick; brother-in-law, Bob Roderick; sisters-in-law: Mildred Roderick and Agnes Scott.

Doris is survived by her children: Barb (Gary) Boutto; Donald Roderick; Bev (Warren) Rutledge; Janice (Randy) Rogers; and Joanne (Benny) Svien; brother Ervin Scott; brother and sister-in-law, Dick and Althea Roderick; grandchildren: Dawn (Todd) Seopa; Dean (Amy) Boutto; Dee Ann (Brad) Sandberg; Donnie Roderick; Allison (Kyle) Koester; Megan (Tyrell) Eckdahl; Andrew (Heather) Rutledge; Jeffrey Rogers; Timothy (Jen) Rogers; Benjamin (Christine) Conklin; Jonathan (Megan) Conklin; Cassie (Joe) Winter; and 22 great-grandchildren.
