We are saddened by the passing of Doris Notman, who was part of the Kretchmar’s Bakery family for more than 10 years before retiring in 2010.

As a sales clerk, Doris was a familiar face to many of our morning customers and a part of the everyday life of our bakery. We are grateful for the years she spent with us and for her place in Kretchmar’s history.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to Doris’s family, friends, and all who knew and loved her.

If you remember Doris from your visits to the bakery or from working alongside her, we invite you to share a memory below as we remember her together.
