Doris grew up Cabin Creek, WV, married the love of her life, Earl, and they made their home in Dawes, WV. In 1992, she moved to Scott Depot to be closer to her children who reside there. She was preceded in death by her husband, Earl Adkins, parents, Edward and Vaughnie Gilliland, brothers, Paul and Charles Gilliland, and sisters, Dorothy Eloise Hancock and Peggy Joyce Henderson. She was a homemaker, and a faithful longtime member of Dawes United Methodist Church, where she served in many areas, including singing in the choir, where in her healthier years she could be heard leading with her strong soprano voice. She was a teacher for vacation Bible school and served with the United Methodist Women as a member and officer. The most important task she undertook was to raise her children in the church. She taught them from a very early age the importance of attending church faithfully, learning to trust Jesus as their Savior and to give their lives in service to the Lord. wvgazettemail.com/Obituaries
