What a wonderful lady Doris was. She was a dear friend, ever present for a chat and support. When I worked at Peachtree Presbyterian Church, she always brought a ray of sunshine and happiness to my day. I am a better person for having known her and loved her. Betty Wyatt (Clayton, GA)

I worked with Doris at Clayton State College (maybe the junior college when she was there) for many years. The students and faculty loved her. She always had a smile and was such lady.. We shared many conversations about our children and grandchildren . My prayers and thoughts to the family. JoAnn Quattlebaum

Doris was not only a wonderful friend to me but also a mentor.
She will be truly missed, and I'll never forget her infectious smile and our wonderful breakfasts and conversation.
Heaven has a new beautiful angel and I feel so fortunate to have known her.
