Doris B. Bounds

Jimmmy,
Bill, Joan, Carol & Donna:

I know it's a bit late, however, I wanted to say "deepest sympathy" to the family. Doris was truly a Very Special LADY - genuinely concerned about the welfare of others. She will not be forgotten. We loved her dearly.

February 6th - the birthday of my dear friend Doris. We miss her so much especially at church functions. Last Thursday we had our Women on Mission meeting which she never missed and she always made the coffee and tea for us. She is celebrating her birthday in Heaven at a Chinese restaurant for sure. How grateful I am for her life and for the way she mentored me in loving Jesus and serving Him. I do pray for her family as they care for Jim in such loving ways.

Dear Bounds family,

We are so sorry to hear about Doris' passing away. This world has lost a precious, kind, giving soul and is worse off because of it. Our only consolation is that she is now with our Heavenly Father in a world free of pain and suffering. Doris and Jimmy were always more than friends to us. They invited us to join their family with openheartedness and generosity. Our family is forever grateful for everything that the Bounds have given and taught us. Doris truly...

Aunt Doris was one of those people who knew what to say and what she said stuck with you. I'm sure that's because it was so genuine and sincere. As I've started my family and made career decisions her statement to me of "My children didn't need a room full of toys, they needed their mother with them," has resounded in my head. Her love for family was remarkable and I'm sure she considered almost everyone she knew as family and only had kind words to say about anyone. God certainly meant it...

Our first memories of Doris Bounds was their first Thanksgiving at Berkely Church. She Invited Morris, Maxine, Pam and Dave to Thanksgiving dinner and to watch the football game with she and Jim. Our children were only 6 and 8 years old then. We have so many great memories spent with Doris amd Jim over 45 years. Doris will be greatly missed.

Doris and Jim certainly had a marriage made if Heaven. They worked so well with all they did.
I remember working with her at Berkeley fixing lunches for the students at Wash U. She could really stretch the dollar to get the most.
Then working with her at Friendship International at Hanley Road. She and Jim brought so many Internationals and when help was needed was needed in the nursery, she was the first to be there. I have a picture of her reading to a little child. She has...

Doris,
Your true wit and humor will surely be missed by those of us who shared it at the Fair this past year. We will surely remember those precious moments as we gather again this year. I look forward to hearing the stories of Doris and how she affected and influenced the lives of those she touched. Memories like those are precious and need to be shared and passed down to our younger family members.
We will miss you, but you will always be in our hearts and our fondest memories.

Dear Jim and Family,
What a joy to know and love Doris, a dear friend indeed. The last week before her passing, I called and we talked a long while, she just did not want to hang up, as she talked on, and I was sure it was to much for her, but Doris was Doris and we loved her for all the lessons she shared with us over the years, I know she is not missing us as we will her, because no pain, worries, or sorrow in the place she is. May God watch over you Jim and family at this time.

It has been a wonderful time to know Doris and Jim. GOD certainly knew who to put together in a great marriage and team.
I remember how Doris worked at Berkely when we would fix meals for the Internationals at Wash U. We always said Doris could do it by herself, she could make the money go further than one could think.
Working with Friendship at Hanley Road, how she and Jim brought so many of the Internationals, then when we were short in the nursery...
