==History==
In 1981, Doina Marin  married Ion Aldea-Teodorovici. Their son, Cristofor Aldea-Teodorovici, was born on August 5, 1982. From 1982 onwards, Doina began to explore her talent as a pop music performer, closely collaborating with her husband.<ref>{{cite web |title=30 DE ANI FĂRĂ DOINA ȘI ION ALDEA-TEODOROVICI.

In 1985, they  participated in a cultural program, attending a school for young researchers in [[Vadul lui Vodă]] alongside the renowned poet [[Grigore Vieru]].
In 1988, she assumed a role as a literature professor, teaching world literature at the Academy of Music, Theater, and Fine Arts in Chișinău. She was also an active vocalist in the band "DIATE." Between 1989 and 1990, Doina and Ion performed in numerous cities and villages in [[Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic|Moldova]], as well as in various locations across [[Romania]], including [[Bucharest]], [[Cluj-Napoca]], [[Brașov]], [[Suceava]], [[Iași]], [[Botoșani]], [[Focșani]], and [[Bârlad]].
In 1991, the couple received the press award at the National Pop Music Festival "Mamaia - 91." Additionally, in 1992, Doina Aldea-Teodorovici appeared in the film "Dragostea ce mișcă sori și stele." During the same year, both she and Ion were recognized at the "[[Golden Stag Festival|Cerbul de Aur]]" Festival in [[Brașov]].
The couple played a significant role in the Moldovan cultural and patriotic landscape, actively participating in events that marked the country's national revival. Her songs, such as ''Suveranitate'', ''Sfântă ni-i casa'', and ''[[Căpriana monastery|Mănăstirea Căpriana]]'', carried profound patriotic themes, making them a symbol of Moldova. In May 1992, together with Ion and notable poets like [[Grigore Vieru]] and [[Adrian Păunescu]], they performed in front of soldiers during the [[Transnistria conflict]]. Later in 1992, they received the title of "Artistă Emerită" (Distinguished Artist) of the Republic of Moldova for her contributions to the nation's cultural heritage.
==Death==
[[File:Doina and Ion Aldea Teodorovici - Coșereni.jpg|thumb|The memorial near [[Coșereni]]]]
Doina and Ion Aldea Teodorovici died together in a [[Traffic collision|road accident]] on the [[DN2|DN2 highway]], near [[Coșereni]] on the night of October 29-30, 1992. Doina was pregnant and expecting a baby girl.
The accident occurred at around 02:15 AM involving an [[Opel]] car with the license plate 0905 MBC, driven by a 33-year-old [[Ukraine|Ukrainian]] citizen named Alexandr Ceakaunov. Both the driver and the fourth passenger, who was in the front seat, Vasilii Koudalb, 38 years old, survived the accident. According to the Romanian press, three injured individuals were extracted from the car with great difficulty. Two other vehicles transported Vasilii Koudalb and Alexandr Chakaunov to the [[Urziceni]] Hospital. At 02:30 AM, an ambulance took Doina Aldea-Teodorovici, who was in a [[coma]]. The ambulance rushed towards [[Bucharest]] at full speed. During the journey, Doina briefly regained consciousness and cried out several times, "Oh, my whole body hurts," and then she died. Ion Aldea-Teodorovici's lifeless body was recovered with great difficulty. The police had to use an [[Oxy-fuel welding and cutting|oxy-acetylene torch]] to cut through the wrecked car, finally freeing the body at 7:00 AM.
Ion and Doina Aldea-Teodorovici left behind an orphaned 10-year-old child named Cristofor, who continued his parents' musical legacy. In a tribute to his mother, in 2021, Cristofor named his daughter Doina.<ref>{{cite web |title=CRISTOFOR ALDEA-TEODOROVICI SPEAKS FOR THE FIRST TIME ABOUT HIS BABY GIRL |url=https://redbyrc.md/2021/08/23/cristofor-aldea-teodorovici-speaks-for-the-first-time-about-his-baby-girl-she-doina-was-and-is-a-kind-of-power-of-mine/ |website=redbyrc.md |date=23 August 2021 |access-date=6 October 2023}}</ref>
