Most of all, she loved the time spent with her family, especially her grandchildren. Doris is preceded in death by her husband and father of her children, Arnold Hampton; her second husband, James

Massey; her parents: Frank Staley Edwards and

Mary Ellen (Shue) Edwards; her brothers: James Edwards and Jerry (Cheryl) Edwards; step-son: James Massey. Survivors
