Doris Martin was a wonderful woman that was loved, is missed, and will always be cherished. She will be remembered as a loving, caring person who loved her God, her church, and her family. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, and had the hands of a servant always doing good for others… what we call in the South… a Godly woman… a beautiful Christ-like example. There’s nobody in the world quite like you Mom. Gone from earth, yet will never be forgotten.
