Doris Hastings, 94, died on January 2, 2017. After professional business training following graduation from public schools, at the outbreak of World War II, she assumed a position in Washington, DC, on the staff of the wartime Office for Inter-American Affairs, an agency headed by Nelson Rockefeller and charged with distributing news and films in Latin America to counter German war propaganda. In that office she worked with Walt Disney in the preparation of animated films for distribution in Latin America. She was married to Reginald S. Lanier, who founded Washington Scientific Industries (WSI) in suburban Minneapolis. After his death in 1964, Doris divided her time between Minnesota and Bal Harbour, Florida, retaining membership on the WSI board. In 1971, she married Lawrence V. Hastings, a Florida doctor and attorney. He passed away in 2004. In her honor and with her support, the Doris Hastings Scholarship was established for students studying less commonly taught languages in the ASU Critical Languages Institute. Doris is survived by a sister-in-law, two nieces, three nephews, six great-nephews, three great-nieces and an adopted daughter. A memorial service for family and friends will be held at the Royal Poinciana Chapel (60 Cocoanut Row), Palm Beach, at 2:00 p.m., January 16, 2017. Memorials are welcomed to the Palm Beach Symphony or the Doris Hastings Scholarship (ASU Foundation). (Source: ASU Foundation)text
