Doris will always be remembered as a woman devoted to prayer and the rock of her family. She loved her church, and she loved her family dearly. With an outgoing personality, she never met a stranger, and many can speak to her amazing cooking abilities. She lived with a selflessness and was always thinking of others. One of her favorite places was the Great Smoky Mountains, and she enjoyed many trips and memories there.
