Doris Carter Willis

I´m just hearing of Doris´ passing and I´m so sorry to have missed her memorial! She was such an inspiration to me as a Christian role model. She always knew how to respond to every situation with godly advice from the Bible. She had a never wavering faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. She always encouraged me in my Christian ministry whatever form it took throughout my adult life. I have really missed her and know her family and close friends will too but rejoice in her home coming to her...

Mel, So sorry to hear about your mom. Please know you are in my prayers.

Forty years ago I moved to Odessa while separating from my husband and eventually getting a divorce. I met Doris at church and she immediately took me under her wing. She knew exactly what I was going through. I was fragile, in shock and confused. My separation happened suddenly and without warning. I was just 24 years old! She spent hours talking with me and helping me. She treated me like a daughter and even gave me a key to her house. I spent many nights there. She cooked meals for me...

What a beautiful soul Ms. Doris was! I remember her fondly from Cresent Park Baptist. Love and prayers for her precious family! Risa Glenn Craig ( youngest daughter of the late Grady & Alice Glenn)

Doris was such a special lady and always brought sunshine into a room. I was blessed to call her friend.

My condolences to your family. Doris and her sweet smile and infectious laugh will be missed! She always loves Jesus and talked about Him all the time I knew her. God bless you in your grief. Lots of love and prayers!!

Doris was a point of light to everyone she touched bringing joy to all. Her ministry to single adults, myself included, was a Godsend to so many. Thank you Doris for your impactful love.

We have the best memories of Doris and so grateful for how she influenced us all. We know her absence will bring grief but we trust our Lord God to fill your hearts with peace and grace.
