I was so very sorry to read of Doris' passing. I worked with her at Center Bank for 10 years and found her to be always kind, generous and friendly to all employees. We had a great time reminiscing at a bank reunion we held in the late 80's. Doris was a lovely lady; my condolensces to her family. May God bless you and comfort you, today and always.

Doris and I worked together at Center Bank.
When I was abandoned by my husband and pregnant with my daughter, Doris took me under her wing. When Debi was 2 we moved in with Doris and lived happily for the next 3 years. Debi and I eventually moved to our own home. Doris was a God-send and we loved her. I know she will be greatly missed by her family and friends, SHe adored her family. My sincere sympathy to her children and grandchildren. Teri Farris

I lived with Doris and my mom when I was a very little girl. She really helped us out. Even though I don't remember her I will always remember who she was and what she did for my mom and I.
My thoughts are with Doris's family during this time of sorrow.

I first met Doris Capps 35 years ago at Center Bank, and have always looked up to her as an example. She was self-confident, smart, loyal and caring. Doris was a very gracious and kind lady. She always had that beautiful smile and a twinkle in her eye. You couldn't be around Doris and not feel good. That's what I'll remember most about Doris - the way she made people feel. My heart goes out to you, her family. We will all miss her.

Doris and I go way back to Center Bank days, 40 years ago. I had the distinct pleasure of working with Doris on so many different things at work and as her obituary describes, she was a leader and a pioneer for the working women. She was the first and only woman officer of the bank for several years and she was a great role model for others to follow. I have nothing but love and respect for what she did for Center Bank and the many women who followed after her that got the recognition they deserved because she had blazed the path before them. Many will think that is the way it has always been, but it is Doris and women like her who have made it easy for them to assimilate into the banking world over the years. Doris, you will be missed. May God bless you and your family.

To the Family,

I first met Doris at the Skelly Reunion held in the Ozarks in 1999. Doris greatly enjoyed visiting everyone who had worked with Frank. We were so glad she came to share the fun of many Skelly employees. We are sorry for your loss.
