Doris Marie Evey born August 15, 1933, in St Louis, MO passed away peacefully on November 23, 2024, at the age of 91 in Pottsboro, TX. She was surrounded by love and family, just as she lived her life, with faith, grace, and kindness.
Her unwavering commitment to her congregation and community left an indelible mark on everyone who knew her. A friend to many, she was a cherished member of the community in Kirby Texas for over 50 years. In addition to her spiritual life, she was an avid tennis enthusiast who enjoyed both the sport and camaraderie it brought. Doris was a librarian in her early years and for over 20 years she volunteered at San Antonio Spurs games where she brought her warm smile and welcoming spirit to fans and staff alike.
She was predeceased by her parents Hal and Ruby Ledman and brother Jay Ledman. She is survived by husband of 48 years Paul B. Evey, children Donna Vance (James Lassiter), Steven J. Perkins, Gregory S. Perkins, Gary M. Perkins (Anne- Marie Grube). Grandkids Christopher M. O’Connor (Keely), Kellie Kesel (George), Brett Perkins, Payton Perkins, Sydney Perkins, great grandchildren Bailee O’Connor, George W. Kesel, stepsons Scott Evey (Antoinette), Edward Evey, nephew Hal Ledman (Angela) along with countless friends who felt her warmth and generosity.
Her memory will live on in the hearts of those she touched. There will be a private interment at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery in San Antonio, TX with family to honor her incredible legacy. A celebration of her life will be at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations to be made to San Antonio Humane Society.
May her spirit continue to guide and inspire us all.
