She was a shining light in the lives of her family and friends. Her quick wit and sense of humor was matched by her warm and embracing heart.

Her strong Christian faith and love for her family were her highest priorities in life. She cherished spending time with her family, especially celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

To her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, she was the best "Grannie - Doris Grannie - Grannie Doris".

Happy Birthday Ms. Doris . . .
Ms Doris, was my "mother-in-law" (because Robert married my sister Carla)! She was definitely family to all of us! I loved to just sit down and converse with her. Her smile and sweet spirit brought a peace into the place.
I also loved when she sat at the information desk at Norton's Hospital - downtown! I was always excited to see her and have a quick visit.
Ms. Doris will be missed; however, I know she trusted in the LORD and HIS Son, JESUS the Christ, therefore, all of HIS promises are yea and Amen.

My sincerest condolences to you and your family, Pam. I wish you healing and peace in the days ahead.
Beverly Lomax Calbert (Your former co-worker)
