Doris was a loyal and loving daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. During World War II, she was a teacher until she married her husband of fifty plus years, Eugene C. Shivers. She then devoted her life to being a homemaker and mother to her children. For over fifty years, she was a faithful member of Broadmoor Baptist Church. She was a member of the Deborah Sunday School class, which was very special to her, as well as being a member of the WMU. Doris was also a member of the Women’s Department Club and Springlake Garden Club. Doris traveled the world with her husband. Her other interests included a love for bridge and enjoyed her bridge groups.
Doris was preceded in death by her parents, Robert Neely and Beulah Buckley Neely; her husband, Eugene Shivers; and her son-in-law, Kurt Seraphine. Left to cherish her memory are her children, Vicki Seraphine and Deborah Shivers Carlson (Chris); her grandchildren, Dr. Chad Ellis (Teresa), Jack Seraphine (Brooke), and Marscha Seraphine (Leslie); her great-grandchildren, Jackson, Duke, and Blaise Ellis, Dylan Jane Seraphine and Jake Seraphine; and her sister, Frances Kees.
The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Holy Angels or Louisiana Baptist Children’s Home.
