Doris Lucille Currie

God blessed Forrest and Ann Gribble with their only child, a baby girl they named Doris Lucille, on January 20, 1921, in Dayton, Ohio. That little girl grew up to be a blessing to us, her family, and beyond us to everyone she met. She passed on peacefully to be with her Lord 9/25/04. She left a legacy of enthusiasm for living and selfless giving. Doris grew up in Dayton where she married John Morgan Currie, her husband of 63 years. She is survived by him and her 3 children, Donald, Jane and Tom, her 'adopted' son, Kazuichi Mihara, 5 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren, and her children's extended families. She served several local organizations as president in most of them including Lee High School PTA, Methodist Hospital Bluebirds, Texas Hospital Auxiliary, Bexar County Hospital gift shop, and American Field Service student exchange program. She was an accomplished artist in pottery and painting and a musician on accordion and piano. She made a home where family and friends gathered daily to enjoy the atmosphere of hospitality she and 'Jack' created. We all miss you!
