Born in Flora, Mississippi, in 1941, Dorris was an outstanding athlete who enjoyed participating in sports throughout her school years. She met the love of her life, Don, on a blind date in Jackson, Mississippi, and the two shared a wonderful marriage for 60 years until his passing in 2020.

Dorris was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She cared deeply for her family and extended that same kindness and compassion to her neighbors and friends. She was known for her gentle spirit, generous heart, and unwavering willingness to help others. She also had a special love for animals and could never turn away a stray in need, caring for many beloved pets throughout her life.

She dedicated herself to her family as a homemaker until her children entered school. She later worked at Valley Park Baptist Church and then with Montgomery County Public Schools, where she remained until her retirement.

During the last several years of her life, Dorris was blessed with the assistance and companionship of dedicated caregivers. Her family extends heartfelt gratitude to Lanesha Kyle and Jacquie Clark of Synergy for the love, kindness, and exceptional care they provided.
