Chladek, Doris

From Spearfish Lake Tales Wiki

Chladek, Doris was a janitor at Hadley-Monroe, and a good friend of Pete Chladek.

Background

She discovered Pete after he collapsed one evening while at work. After Pete was diagnosed with, and operated on, for a benign brain tumor, Doris took time off work to care for him. When Pete recovered, they became good friends, although apparently not romantically involved.^GT6

By July 2002, Pete and Doris, with the happy example of Jon's and Tanisha's interracial marriage, get married, and Pete introduced her as his wife at his granddaughter's baby-shower.^GT21

Appearance

Doris was a very dark-skinned black woman who looked remarkably like Tanisha Chladek's late mother; but had a much warmer manner.^GT11

Ironically, Doris apparently lost a daughter at a young age, and she imagined that the daughter would have grown up as pretty as Tanisha, had she survived.^GT6
