Doris Agnor

Mystic — Doris Jean Agnor, 76, of Haley Brook Condos in Mystic, died Saturday, June 6, with her sisters, Carol Desillier and Janis Ingham, and brother-in-law Tim Desillier by her side. Her granddog Teddy Nichols spent the last two days of her life by her side sharing love and kisses.

She was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Sept. 8, 1943, the daughter of William and Jennie Johnson. She was raised in Brooklyn, and after the family moved to Virginia, she graduated from Lee High in Staunton, Va. She met her high school sweetheart, Hugh Eldridge Agnor, and they married and had a son, Robert Agnor. After 55 years of marriage, she was widowed in 2017.

Doris and Hugh moved to Connecticut in their late 40s. She worked at Washington Trust until retirement and then worked part-time at Thames Eye Group in Mystic.

During the last three years, she had many health issues. She fought through all of them and had many happy times with family and Haley Brook friends. She enjoyed shopping, TV, and trips to “The Woods” to play her favorite slots.

Doris is often called the “Dog Whisperer” for her love and caring of dogs. She raised three Schnauzers, Brandi, Chelsea, and Nikki. She will be joining them in Heaven.

Doris will be greatly missed by friends and family. All services will be private for the family.

Donations in her memory may be made to the Mystic River Ambulance, 237 Sandy Hollow Road, Mystic, CT 06355.

The Dinoto Funeral Home, 17 Pearl St., Mystic, is assisting the family.
