Doris Berkey
Born into an Air Force family, she traveled extensively and credits her outgoing, friendly, personality to always engaging people in the moment, believing that we should try to make a positive impact on everyone we meet. (She actually attended 3 different elementary schools in 3rd grade, In Spain, Maryland and Texas). She moved to Sarasota from Connecticut making Sarasota County her home for over 24 years. She is blessed by three grown, married daughters, and six grandchildren (all under the age of 7)! In her fun time, she loves to go on adventures with her family and friends, kayaking and exploring all that nature has to offer here on the Suncoast. Her idea of a great day… sitting on the beach, reading a book! She believes that together we can make positive, life-changing happenings, so she volunteers extensively in our community.
