Doris was born February 13, 1934 in Harrisonville, MO, the daughter of Newton and Bernita (Dykes) Colvin. She married Kenneth Edgar Colvin on November 27, 1993 at the First Baptist Church in Harrisonville. She had lived in Harrisonville for most of her life before moving to Webb City several years ago. She had worked as a cook, and later at several nursing homes as a nurse aide. Doris enjoyed playing cards and board games, and watching nature shows on television (especially ones with puppies & kitties). She was also quite fond of hummingbirds and cardinals. Her face would light up any time she saw horses in a field. Doris always loved watching trains go by, which reminded her of her childhood living not far from the tracks.
Doris was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Kenneth, on February 17, 2013; four brothers, George, Vernon "Dutch", Newton "Newt", and James Allen, and four sisters, Eleanor, Hattie, Mary, and Edna Pearl. She is survived by one son, John Decou, Webb City, MO; one sister, Betty Colvin, Harrisonville, MO; several nieces, nephews, and many loving friends.
