Born in Sylacauga, Alabama, on March 29, 1936, Doris was the daughter of the late Stephen Rowe Grimes and Elgie Mae Nelson. Doris graduated from Weogufka High School and then married her husband, Dub Davis. She worked at Big Bear and Super Foods in Auburn and retired from Walmart after 20 years. Doris was preceded in death by her husband of 57 years, F.W. Davis, Jr. “Dub”; her daughter, Lisa Thomas (Buck; her brother, Judson Rowe (Ted) Grimes; and her great-granddaughter, Ashley Dawn Smith.
She is survived by her daughter, Terri Smith (Glynn); and her six grandchildren: Glendon (Teresa) Smith, Brandy (Nate) Anderson, Spencer (Brinkley) Thomas, Brooke (Chason) Hightower, Kevin (Andy) Thomas, and Logan (Becca) Smith. She is also survived by 14 of 15 great grandchildren: Jaxson, Rylie (Ian), Kennedy, Corban, Raegan, William, Avery, Taylor, Claire, Morgan, Ellarose, Bodie, Avonley, and Calvin. Other family and friends will miss her. We love you, Granny.
Doris will be remembered for her unselfish love for her daughters and family. They were the light of her life. She showed love by doing for others, whether she was washing everyone’s clothes cooking a meal or babysitting her grandchildren. She loved her visits to Utah and her time spent with family. She shared her love and faith in God through gospel music. She loved unconditionally.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you donate to the charity of your choice in her name.
