A true woman of God, Doretha lived her life with unwavering faith, love, and grace. She filled every room with warmth, joy, and the smell of something delicious cooking on the stove.

Doretha was a light; always positive, always encouraging, and always loving. Her legacy lives on in every hug, every home-cooked meal, and every act of kindness we show to others. Though she may be gone from our sight, her spirit, her laughter, and her love will remain with us always. We love you Doretha. Rest peacefully in God’s embrace.
