Doris Ann Pearson

Born in Arlington, VA on July 26, 1943, she was the daughter of the late Lauren Hunter Hereford and Martha Jane Kosko.

In addition to her parents, Doris was also preceded in death by her husband, Buford Pearson; one son, Brian Keith Ellison and one granddaughter, Heather Joiner.

Doris loved watching wrestling and game shows, especially Family Feud. She enjoyed caring for rescue animals and attending her Ladies Bunco group. But her greatest enjoyment in life was being a wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

Proverbs 31 details the virtues of a godly woman. Verse 28 states “Her children arise and call her blessed;” Truly Doris instilled the value of faith and family in her children. She established a godly atmosphere in the home, and will always be remembered for being the best mom and friend to each of her children.

Those left to cherish her memory are her children, Tina Byrne (Scott) of China Grove, NC, Tammy Hutto (Tim) of Bostic, NC, Billy Ellison of Concord, NC, Mary Wusterbarth (Danny) of China Grove, NC, Hunter Pearson (Ashley) of China Grove, NC and Jonathan Pearson, of China Grove, NC.

She is further survived by her grandchildren, Benjamin Hutto, Brooke Wusterbarth, Baker Wusterbarth, Breann Wusterbarth, Bailey Wusterbarth, Bentley Clark, Raelyn Pearson and Adelyn Pearson; great-grandchildren, Patrick Joiner and Seth Killian; brother James Hereford (Dorothy) of Sterling, VA and sister, Mary Hutson (Wilford) of Augusta, GA.
