Doris Cates Obituary
She is preceded in death by parents, Samuel Edward and Josie Eubanks Horner; sister, Wanda Weishaup; and brother, James Horner.
She is survived by sisters, Geraldine Hill, Peggie Loveday, Nina (Lamar) Winkle and Sammie Neely; and brother, Bobby (Cindy) Horner. Doris had no children of her own, but she did have a lot of nieces and nephews. She loved her family fiercely and prayed for all of us. One niece described her as their "quirky, spunky aunt." She was so loved and will be so missed.
