Doris Klimple Witek

Doris Klimple Witek was born at home on a cotton farm on December 8, 1930 in Wallis, Texas to Fred and Minnie (Voitle) Klimple. On July 4, 1947, she met the love of her life, Willie Witek, at a “Tag Dance”. In 1950 at Wharton High School, she was the only person in her immediate family to graduate from school. Willie and Doris were married on August 10, 1952. After marriage, Doris moved to Sugar Land and worked at Sugar Land Industries (Imperial Sugar) in the Accounts Payable department until Wayde was born in 1958. Soon after, Sharon arrived in 1960. She deeply loved being Momma to her children and Meemaw to her grandchildren, great grandchildren and great, great grandson. Doris was a stay-at-home mom until Sharon entered the first grade. She decided to reenter the work force in 1970 and became a secretary working for Fort Bend ISD. Over the years, she worked in the front office at Lakeview Elementary, Dulles Junior High and Dulles High School. One of her greatest joys was working with the students. Although she retired in 1996, she would still get recognized by former students at the grocery store and other places. She absolutely loved that! Dancing with Willie, sewing, cooking and gardening were her favorites pastimes. After Willie passed away, she enjoyed attending Catholic bazaars and polka dances with her best friend and coworker at FBISD, Mary Lou Svatek. Although Doris suffered from dementia in the last few years of her life, she remained much the same as she always had been. At the age of 95, she died peacefully in her sleep in the early morning hours of Sunday, August 16, 2026. She is preceded in death by her loving husband, Willie Witek; her parents, Fred and Minnie Klimple; her brothers, Wesley Klimple, Alfred (Dick) Klimple, Jesse Klimple and Robert Klimple; her sisters, Martina (Tina) Dolejsi Adams and Mildred Frolick Gifford.
