She will be forever missed by her 13 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great-grandchild. Her faithful Westie was by her side to the very end.

In her extended family, she was preceded in death by her mother Francis Moody, her brother Edward Etheridge (Ruth) and a much loved niece. She is also survived by three cherished nieces and one dear nephew.

Doris loved to makes things beautiful, as evidenced in the flowers in her garden and every room in her home. She was an avid collector of dolls, bunnies and garden ornaments, all of which she proudly displayed. She loved to shower her family and friends with gifts, especially for Christmas and birthdays. She especially enjoyed cooking for her family and spending long hours on the phone with her friends. She was also an active member of Christian Women’s Club for many years. Along with her husband Jim, she was a prayer warrior for her children and grandchildren.
