Doris Ryon

Doris was born October 1, 1928 in Whitewright, TX to the late Ralph and Viola McKinney. While raising her 4 children, she also volunteered her time to many organizations, such as Hospice and the Salvation Army. She was a long time member of First United Methodist Church before she moved to Boling. She joined the Coastal Plains Cowboy Church and was a part of their women’s group. She was an excellent cook, enjoyed making crafts and teaching craft classes. She could take anything and turn it into an angel. She was known to cook by taste and not by a recipe. She also made the best sweet tea. People would always ask her how she made it and she would reply “It’s how you stir it”.

Doris is survived by her daughter, Marsha Bommer (Bill); sons, Garry Ryon (Cheryl), Mark Ryon and Steven Ryon (Sandra); sisters, Mary Word (Harold) and Nancy Gentry; brothers, Doyle McKinney, Jim McKinney (Sue), Lowell McKinney (Shirley), Noel McKinney (Linda), Sammy McKinney and Kenneth McKinney (Sandy); 12 grandchildren; and 20 great-grandchildren.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Ralph and Viola McKinney; her husband, Loren Paul Ryon; sister, Betty Taylor; daughter-in-law, Gail Ryon; and her grandchildren, Ryon Bommer and Jeffrey Ryon.
