Doris E. (LeComte) Stephens, 86, of Lower Saucon Township, died Wednesday, March 8, 2017 at her home. She was the widow of LeRoy A. Stephens (died May 27, 2009). She was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., on May 19, 1930 to the late Emmanuel E. and Florence LeComte. She was an executive assistant at the former Laros Silk Mill, Allentown for many years until retiring. She was a member of the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Bethlehem (Colesville) and a past officer of the Red Hat Ladies. Doris was a social person who enjoyed being around her peers and loved telling jokes/stories.
