Inez was born in Omega, Illinois on September 24, 1920. She was one of 13 children born to Huldah Marlow and Chesley Paul See. Inez was 13 when her Mother passed away. She quit school in the 6th grade to assume responsibilities of the remaining 8 members of the family still at home.
She married the love of her life, Clifford, on December 30, 1939 in St. Charles, Mo. They were a couple from the day they met and celebrated over 76 years of marriage until Clifford’s death in 2016.
They were transferred to Longview in 1950 where Clifford joined Mid-Valley Pipeline Company. They were members of Greggton United Methodist Church. Cliff and Inez enjoyed many years of camping in their 5th wheel travel trailer, South Texas in the Winter and Colorado in the summer. They did everything together. They moved to Dallas in 2013 to be near family.
Inez was a seamstress “extraordinaire”! She made everything from wedding dresses to uniforms and everything in between. In her later years she stayed busy doing alterations. She loved the visits this line of sewing offered.
She was an amazing, loving mother to their 3 children and spouses, 8 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren. Inez was a fabulous cook and all the family enjoyed feasting on her dishes when visiting. We can all name a “favorite” recipe of hers and requested she make it upon our arrival. She always had a fresh cake or pie ready for the many friends that would “drop by” for a visit and a cup of coffee.
She is survived by her three children: Larry & Cathy Douthitt of Sugar Land, (soon to be Temple; Richard & Judy Douthitt of Fairview: and Nancy & Tom Aldinger of Dallas. She is survived by 8 grandchildren and their spouses and 19 great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in Inez’s memory be made to the Greggton United Methodist Church in Longview, or the Alzheimer’s Association.
Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.lakeviewfh.com for the Douthitt family.
