Doris and I sang at Sandston Presbyterian Church together and boy, she could sing! I was very young when I started singing in the choir and I clearly remember her voice. She was eccentric, kind, and always cared for those around her. You will be greatly missed!

You were my 5th grade teacher at Montrose elementary, later you were my best friend. You made a huge difference in the course of my life in the lessons you taught me. You were always there when I needed to talk, and you always made things better. I remember you took my picture and you had tears rolling down your cheeks as you sent me off to war. You made my life better in so many ways, and for that I'll always be grateful. The world is a more sorrowful place without you in it. I last visited with you about five or six years ago. I'm sorry we didn't have a chance to spend more time together. May God bless and keep you my dear friend. Rest in peace dear lady

Doris was a longtime, faithful member of our church family - Sandston Presbyterian. Her beautiful voice filled our sanctuary every Sunday. She had the unique talent to sing descants hitting the high notes that most sopranos cannot reach.  I loved her colorful personality, and her laugh was infectious. She will be missed!

Mrs. King was an amazing teacher, she was my favorite at Montrose Elementary. May you Rest In Peace Mrs. King ❤️

Doris  and I went to Varina High School, graduated together in 1954; and later "found" each other again when she taught at Donahoe.  She was a teacher and I picked up students for the daycare where I worked.  We kept on and off touch; and, often, saw and talked at Cracker Barrel.  I saw her less and less  in the recent couple of years; but always looked for her when in Cracker Barrel.
Just two days ago, I said I would call the number I had for her.  No matter how long it was between seeing her, she always made me feel like it was the day before when we talked.

I had Miss King for my 5th grade teacher at Montrose Elementary School. She was the best teacher!! She loved her students and would help you learn your lessons. She was a very caring and loving teacher to her students. She made all her students feel special.

I caught back up with Miss King when I joined the Sandston Woman's Club and it was great to see her again. She was still the same loving person.

Rest in Peace my favorite teacher!!!


Doris and Eddie were great friends of my grand parents (June and Wesley Griffith). The four of them use to go out to dinner on Friday nights and take me and my brother as children. They would drink coffee and joke and laugh. They had so much fun together. Doris was always dressed just right with Eddie telling jokes. Such fun and loving people.

I was taught 5th grade at Montrose elementary by Mrs. King. She was always so pleasant and very memorable. Prayers for her family !! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I was so fortunate to have Miss King for my 5th grade teacher at Montrose Elementary.  I enjoyed staying after class and helping with the bulletin board outside our classroom. She had a way of making you feel special and she always had time to listen. My sincerest condolences to her family and friends. God Bless!


The members of Henrico Retired School Personnel Association extend their condolences to the family of Doris King and our appreciation for her many years of service to students and staff.

Mrs. King was my fourth grade teacher at Donahoe Elementary. She was known by us students for her voice, as we sang the national anthem (or other patriotic song) every morning. She was always cheerful and taught us to play recorders too! I most remember the class spelling bees and her sweet disposition.  To all of her cherished ones, may you find peace in the knowledge of the wonderfully full life she lived! Thank you for everything Mrs. King!

Ms.King was my fourth grade teacher at Donahoe (87-88 school year). I remember her very vividly and her voice as she would sing the National Anthem every morning. She was a wonderful teacher. She made such an impact on many lives. She will be greatly missed!

Doris and I were roommates at Madison our Freshmen and Sophomore years and I have many memories of our good times in the dining room, where we worked to pay our way through school.  After graduation, I married and moved out of state but still kept in touch with Doris with Christmas cards.  I was so sad when Eddie passed away and I know it broke her heart.  I was very sad when I lost touch with her and now know that she has joined Eddie again.
God bless all her loved ones and keep all the wonderful memories of her close to your heart.   

What a life changer Ms King was she was my 5th grade teacher at montrose elementary. She was the sweetest lady and loved her students. May she Rest In Peace 

Doris and I worked together at Donahoe Elementary (Sandston, VA) from its opening in 1978 until she retired.  The faculty of Donahoe was very close and Doris was one who kept us together with her quick and ever-present humor.  

 Although I had not seen Doris in many years, I can still remember her sweet voice, which often erupted into song!  Enjoy your new classroom in heaven, Doris!  

Thank you so much sharing your memories of Doris King. She will be greatly missed. She is resting in peace with the Lord now.  To her church please know she missed you all and church greatly. She missed being back home so much and being in Richmond. So I have made sure to bring her home to where she wanted to be. I want to thank you all for your heart warming messages. God bless all  of you, please stay home, stay safe. You know in your heart as a teacher Doris would say the same. She loved you all so much. Thank you. Take care.

I was blessed to have Ms King as my teacher at Montrose Elementary, we had a May Day and she came to my house to make sure I had  my  yellow flower costume, she made it herself. 
I will never forget the love she showed me then
And I am sorry I never got to thank her when I was old  enough to realize how far beyond a teacher she was, there are angels among us and I know she has received her wings that she so deserved. God bless you Miss King 

Ms. King was my fifth grade teacher at Montrose Elementary School.
She was by far the best teacher. She was very caring and helped me when I would have trouble getting my school work done. She never raised her voice and it was a joy coming to school everyday knowing I felt safe and looked after and could learn from her.

Rest in Peace Ms. King

Miss King was my 5th grade teacher in the early 60's. She was a wonderful teacher and had a beautiful voice. We always looked forward to her singing O Holy Night at Christmas. She will be missed. But Miss King leaves a legacy of students who likely have similar good memories. Rest in peace after a life well-lived.
