BROOKFIELD, CT — Doris C. Tyransky, 73 of 31 Shamrock Drive, Brookfield, passed away on Thursday, Dec. 5, 2019 at her home. She was the wife of Jack Tyransky.

Born in Baltimore, MD, daughter of the late Leroy and Anna Jacquette, she graduated from the Mercy Hospital School of Nursing in Baltimore. Her family moved to Danbury in 1972 and then to Brookfield in 1977. Doris worked as a nurse at Danbury Hospital for 30 years, retiring in 2002.

Doris had a lifetime interest in painting, gardening, the outdoors and traveling with family and friends. Her greatest passion was the love of her family and she especially enjoyed spending time with her five grandchildren. She selflessly volunteered her time serving on the Brookfield Parks and Recreation Committee and the Interfaith Aids Ministry.
