Doris E. Wilcox

Doris (Kline) Wilcox, age 96, passed away peacefully Friday, August 21, 2026, at her home in East Amwell, NJ.

Doris was a lifelong resident of Hunterdon County, born on May 4, 1930, in Three Bridges, NJ, and resided near Reaville, NJ for over 77 years. Doris was the daughter of the late David and Ethel (Higgins) Kline and a graduate of Flemington High School, class of 1948. She was employed at the Prudential Insurance Co. in Newark, NJ prior to her marriage to Earl H. Wilcox for 58 years. She was a member of East Amwell Seniors and for many years contributed articles to their newsletters.

Doris most enjoyed time spent with her beloved children, grandchildren and long-time friends. Doris particularly looked forward to family gatherings where she would most definitely bake a pie or two. One of her hobbies was visiting yard sales and finding treasures. Doris especially enjoyed her trips to Cape May, NJ with her family. On the Wildwood boardwalk, Doris enjoyed bicycling, people watching, eating at Sam’s Pizza, and buying Douglass Fudge.

She was predeceased by her husband Earl H. Wilcox, sons Mark Wilcox and Kim Wilcox, daughter-in-law Patricia Wilcox, brothers Douglas Kline and Lambert Kline and sisters Thelma Miller and Regina White.

Doris is survived by son Brian Wilcox (Marge); daughter Eileen Westlein (Mike); grandchildren Michael Wilcox, Alex Westlein, Abby Westlein, Kate Wilcox, John Wilcox; and nieces and nephews.
