Doris Joan Chaney was born July 1, 1939 in Nampa, Idaho to Arthur & Eva Lena McCoy. She lived in Melba on Jensen's Ranch where her father was the ranch foreman. In 1947 she and her parents moved to Corinth, Mississippi where her parents were raised. Being an only child she spent much of her childhood with her many cousins and in 1957 graduated from Corinth High School. Doris and her parents moved back to Idaho that same year and she started attending the College of Idaho in the fall of 1957. She graduated with her Bachelor of Art's degree in foreign language with a minor in English in 1961. She began teaching the fall of 1961 in Meridian, Idaho.
Then in 1963 she met Clinton Chaney in Boise, Idaho and on May 28, 1966 they were married in Nampa, Idaho. They lived in Boise and Doris taught at Caldwell High School. During the early years of their marriage they enjoyed camping and taking long drives. They then began having their children, Allen, Ben & Janna from 1970 – 1973.
Doris stayed home to care for her children until her youngest, Janna was in kindergarten at which time she started teaching again in 1979 at Maranatha Christian School and did so for 16 years. She loved teaching and loved her students even more. In fact, caring for her children and students became her life's ministry. Her love for the Lord was lived out in front of her children and students every day and she was very active in her church where she taught Sunday School for many years.
Mrs. Chaney was a truly amazing woman of which words can't begin to accurately convey. If you were fortunate enough to have known her you know in your heart what Mrs. Chaney means to you. She inspired so many people to achieve spiritually and academically far beyond their aspirations.
In November of 2008 she retired from teaching at Nampa Christian due to early stages of Alzheimer's. On January 25th, 2012 she passed peacefully into her eternal home at Spring Creek Manor in Meridian with her daughter at her side. The family would like to express their extreme gratitude to the caregivers at Spring Creek Manor who loving tended to all mom's needs.
Doris is survived by her husband of 45 years, Clinton Chaney, of Meridian, Idaho; her sons Allen Chaney and wife, Susie, of Reedsport, Oregon, and Ben Chaney and wife, Cristy, of Meridian, Idaho; her daughter, Janna Thompson and husband, Matt, of San Antonio, Texas; sister-in-law, Linda Ramsey and husband, Randy, of Mountain Home, Idaho; niece, Sandy O'Connell and husband, Danny; five grandchildren, Rob and wife, Melissa, Brad, Marc, Paige and Jacob; and one great-grandchild, Gage.
