Doris Ann McCollough

WARREN - Born July 3, 1953, Doris Ann McCollough was the beloved daughter of Benny Lee and Anna Mae Kirksey. In 1972, she married the love of her life, Thad McCollough. Together, they were blessed with four daughters: Angela, Cynthia, and Lacresha McCollough, and Lauren (Maurice) Taylor - all of whom will forever treasure her memory. Doris proudly graduated from Alliance High School, Class of 1971. With a heart for caring and serving others, she dedicated her life to helping those in need. She worked faithfully as a caregiver at Albert Nursing Home, Hillside Hospital, Community Skilled, and through many private care cases, touching countless lives along the way. In 1995, she furthered her nursing by graduating with the very first adult nursing class at TCTC. She continued to bless others through her caregiving work and eventually retired from The Enrichment Center, Inc. in 2015. Doris was known for her loving and giving heart.

In 2015, Doris was diagnosed with Idiopathic Interstitial Lung Disease and was given a life expectancy of five years. However, covered by God's grace, she was able to continue serving in ministry, traveling, and enjoying her family for an additional five years.
