Doris Ruth Jones

Doris was born on October 30, 1928, to CB Smith and Fronia Smith. She was born and raised in Carrollton, Texas.

She met and married her husband, Bryan Jones at the age of 16 while Bryan was stationed at Ft. Knox.

Doris worked as a housewife during her marriage to Bryan. They were married 47 years before Bryan’s passing in 1990.

Doris was an active member of the First United Methodist church in Carrollton and loved singing in the church’s annual Christmas Contada. Doris enjoyed reading her bible while listening to Christian music. The worn pages of Doris's bible are a testament to her love of scripture. Doris loved well and was a prayer warrior for many. She loved helping others and made friends easily. She had a great sense of humor and brought smiles and laughter among family and friends. To many Doris was known to have a generous heart and would often contribute to many charitable causes. At The Pearl Senior Living she had the responsibility of parking security making sure that everyone knew where to park in the facility parking lot and did not hesitate to let folks know when they were not obeying the rules. A job she thoroughly enjoyed doing!

Doris was a special woman that had a positive impact on many lives, as evidenced by the many personal connections that she kept active through the years by phone calls, cards and letters.
