I’m so sorry to hear about Mrs. Doty She was a precious lady every time she came in to the emergency room. She was such a pleasure to take care of, always sweet and kind. I know she will be greatly missed. She had a loving family and I know you guys are going to miss her dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with you through this difficult time. The last thing she told me when she was at the ED the last visit that we had with her, she told me that the Lord was singing to her and that she was ready to meet her savior so I know she is not suffering anymore and she’s walking with her Lord and Savior. Love , Missy Edens

Rod, Nancy and Family, 
   Our thoughts and prayers are with you in the coming days as Jesse has passed. 
   It was always a pleasure to encounter her at church, the grocery store, getting her hair done and any other place you may run into her. She always had a big smile and hug for you. She would talk about her family that she adored and then tell you about working in her yard. As you would say “see you later,” you would always feel uplifted by her sweet presence. She will be missed. 
                                           Karen and Dan Sharpe

Rodney, Nancy & family,
My sympathy and prayers are extended for you!  Mrs. Doty was a beautiful person inside and out! I loved Mr. & Mrs. Doty! They use to help me count money at East Pickens, and I loved how she was so elegant and he was so straightforward. They were precious together! 
You're in my thoughts!

Ms Doty was my neighbor for several years. In true southern fashion, when I moved in she brought a gift of flowers to welcome me to the neighborhood.   She had a bright, cheery presence, a generous heart and was always a joy to be around.  She loved tending to her yard, flowers and garden and I marveled at her ability to weed eat and cut her grass well into her 90s. She lived for the spring when the weather warmed up and she could get back outside to do what she loved so much.  During the summer I often woke up to a bag of her homegrown vegetables left at my door. She was a special lady and I cherish all my memories of her and a life well lived ❤️🙏
