Doris Haley Obituary
Doris was born in Marshall County on April 28, 1927 to the late Wallace Watson Noles and the late Alma Mae Winders Noles. She was a member of Calvert City First Baptist Church. Doris was a gifted homemaker and enjoyed working in her flower garden, sewing and crafting.

O'Bryan (Lisa), Misty O'Bryan Reynolds (Dale), Russell Armstrong (Christa), Amanda Elder (Rob), and Brandon Gillham; ten great grandchildren; and nine great-great grandchildren.
