Spirit of America 2014 nominee: Doloris Meyr

Nominated by Dianne Meyr

Doloris Meyr

Doloris embodies the spirit of our great nation by staying active in many different ways. She was instrumental in the organization of her husband's business, Harold Meyr Accounting Services, PC, and Good Shepherd Lutheran Chapel in Cape Girardeau.

She can be seen at her home, church grounds, Cape Senior Center, and office at Harold Meyr Accounting Services planting and doing various landscaping to beautify the grounds surrounding those buildings.

Countless hours are spent in doing table arrangements at her church, senior center and at Christian women's meals. That is another way she uses her talents for the enjoyment of others.

For many years she has helped with the delivery of meals to senior citizens in the Cape Girardeau area. Doloris also helps when friends and family need rides to medical appointments. She enjoys reaching out to others who have lost loved ones.
