Viola Doris Waterfield

Viola Doris Waterfield, of Chesapeake, Virginia, passed away on December 14, 2025 at the age of 83.
She was born on January 29, 1942, in Norfolk, Virginia to Jack Lynch and Bertha Stallings.
Doris was a devoted member of Oak Grove Baptist Church, faithfully serving in many roles over the years. She loved her church family and the fellowship it brought her.
Doris married her husband Tully Conrad Waterfield on January 24, 1958, and together they built a beautiful family. She retired from Tidewater Community College after 16 years. She greatly enjoyed drawing and the arts as well as interior decoration as could be seen by her home which was always beautifully done. In later years, her greatest joy came from caring for her home, her flowers, and the people she loved most.
