A daughter of the late Ethiel (Kitts) and Sterling Price Henderson, Doris was born on September 27, 1934, in Wichita Falls, Texas. She graduated from Petrolia High School. Doris met the love of her life and married John Monroe Drullinger on October 31, 1959. First and foremost, she was a wife and mother, raising five children. She also worked preparing lunches for the children at Bonham Elementary School for many years. She loved children and treated them all as her own. When grandchildren followed, she became lovingly known as ?Mama Doris?. She was an excellent seamstress and made many of her family's clothes. She was an amazing cook and well known for her homemade candy. She cracked and shelled her own pecans by the bucketful. Her pecan pies and mayonnaise cakes were the first to go (sometimes before the meals).
Doris was preceded in death by her parents and sisters, Ima Lee Holder, Edith "Madge" Heacock, Patricia Schutte; and brothers, Robert Henderson and Forrest Henderson; and two grandsons, Craig Schroeder and Ronald "Little Ronnie" Drullinger.
She is survived by her husband of 62 years, John Monroe Drullinger; her children, Ronnie Drullinger and wife Joni; Brenda Goldfein and husband Larry; Dena Pierce and husband Billy; John Drullinger Jr; and Jerry Drullinger and wife Joy.
