She peacefully entered into the arms of her personal Savior and rejoined her husband of 68 years of marriage, William E. “Billie” Adams, who passed away on January 11, 2019. Doris was a devoted wife and mother and her passion was her family. She was an excellent cook and a generous and caring neighbor in the LeGrande community.

For over 40 years, Doris was an area Avon representative, achieving the President’s Club honor many years. She was active in the LeGrande PTA, Homemakers Club, and 4-H Club. Hobbies included reading, sewing, knitting and crocheting for her family. She was a graduate of Hart Memorial High School class of 1951. In 2006, Billie and Doris served as Ambassadors for the Hart County American Cancer Society Relay for Life. Both survived cancer for over 20 years.

In addition to her husband, Doris was preceded in death by her parents, Paul and Lucille Grubbs; a brother, Donald Grubbs; and a sister, Rita Humphrey.

She is survived by a son, Darrell (LaTina) Adams, and daughter, Joni (Johnny) Melloan, all of Elizabethtown; and son, Jerry (Becky) Adams, of Deatsville, Alabama. She is also survived by eight grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren, with one on the way; four sisters-in-law, Bonnie Grubbs, Betsy Deaton, Patsy (Bill) Humphrey, and Christine Adams; and a host of cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.
