Doris and Russell were married 49 years and together had a wonderful family.
Doris was a bank teller for 52 years. She was a devout Christian while being a member of both Central Church of Christ and 249 Church of Christ. Her favorite thing to do was to go to the Senior Center and play Bingo with her friends. At home, her favorite thing to do was to play Skip-Bo with EVERYONE! She loved doing silly skits for everyone's birthday and embarrassing them by teaching them the difference between the kisses when you became a teenager, a memory that they will never forget. She was the Matriarch of the family and created traditions that will live in us forever. Her favorite tradition at Christmas was to initiate new family members by making them recite "The Night Before Christmas" with a sucker in their mouth in front of the whole family. She loved telling stories to the kids. Her Grandkids and Great-Grandkids would say she was the best storyteller and encouraged her to write Children's books.
