Winfred Kimball, daughter, Kathy Crum, granddaughter, Chasity Thompson, sister, Barbara Crocker, brothers, Arnold, Hermon, Ray and Bobby Morton.

Doris retired from Cannon Mills and was an active member for over 43 years at East Bethel Baptist Church. She took on the role as a preacher’s wife when her husband, Winfred was called to pastor there. She supported him in every way, including praying for him during his messages. She served in various positions at the church, never getting tired of serving the Lord. Her needs were few in want, however, listening to and singing gospel music, her church, her family, especially her grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, brought Doris more joy than anything she could ever have. She was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend, who will be dearly missed beyond measure by those who knew and loved her.

Left to cherish her memory is her daughter, Susan Kimball Clark and husband, Joey; grandchildren, Russell Clark and wife, Nicole, Brett Clark and wife, Amy, and Tara Capezzuto; great-grandchildren, Landon Clark, Nathaniel Capezzuto, and Peyton Clark; brother, Doyt Morton and wife, Carolyn; and numerous other loving relatives and friends.
