RUBY DORIS BERRY

TYLER - Doris "Mama" Berry, age 101, peacefully and victoriously met her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ face to Face, January 3, 2023, surrounded by her loving family. She heard the Lord say, "Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter into your rest. Welcome Home!"

She was born October 6, 1921, in Henderson, TX, to Robert Neeley and Wren Carlisle. She graduated from Henderson High School in 1939. She married her high school sweetheart, Randolph Berry, August 1, 1941, which spanned 49 years. Doris was a devout lover of the Lord Jesus Christ and faithfully taught Bible classes. Music was her life and the song of her heart, always singing in choirs. She was a hard worker at the Asbury Hamburger booth at the annual East TX State Fair, the Asbury Arts & Crafts fairs, and the rummage sales. She was the annual organizer for the Berry family reunions, bringing all the family together. Doris was always ready to help and serve others, with love in her heart, a smile on her face and a song on her lips. She was diligent in her monthly Card Ministry to remember family and friend's birthdays and anniversarys with love and blessings. Randolph was a grocery buyer for the Brookshire Grocery Company. In 1976 Doris began serving as a tour guide for the Brookshire Museum and Country Store. In 2011 she was awarded the Foundation Award for 35 years of outstanding dedicated service as a Tour Guide.
