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.

    I met Doris at the tender age of 15. She’s the mother of my first love. She showed me unconditional love and acceptance from day 1. That’s something I hadn’t really known before. Our friendship started in 1975 and she will be dear in my heart forever. She is my honorary Ma who taught me so much about life. We were closer than I even realized, thinking about it now. We trusted each other with our closest thoughts, dreams, feelings and even secrets. She will be in my heart forever. I believe the good Lord put her in my life because I needed her and I thank him for that devine help. She was always there with an understanding ear whenever I needed one. My children called her their Texas Grandma 🩷

    Fly high Ma❣️I love you!

    I think I was 12-13 years old when I became a library aide. Mrs Evey was the one who oversaw what I did and taught me how to check out books, make sure the shelves were in order, and most importantly became a friend. She came to our wedding, and we have stayed in touch off and on over the years – our last communication was in October. I think of her every year when I hang the ornament up she have us the year we got married. Her memory will live on!

    I met Ms Doris when I served as her pastor at Kirby Baptist (2002-2014). She became a family friend and babysat our dogs and adopted Boomer from us. She was faithful, loyal, caring and demonstrated the love of God to all. Will miss her kindness to me and my family. Prayers and love to Mr Paul and family.

    This precious and spunky woman had a way to connect of connecting with people that is to be admired. She always checked on our family, wherever we wwre living in the world because we were sisters with a huge sge gap…. If not by Christ’s live then definitely because we were both milspouses. 🥺 That is how she connected with others- with her life experience and a giggle. I will miss Miss Doris.

    I am so very saddened to hear of (Mrs. Perkins) Doris’s death!!! She was a second Mom to me growing up and held a very special place in my heart!!! I have no doubt she has gone home to Jesus and those she has missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you Donna, Steve, Gary and family.

    I met Doris once when I was very young and then many years later in 2022 my brother passed. Doris asked me to be friends with her on Facebook she missed my brother dearly. She was like a second mother to him she had a very big loving heart. In the short time that I did get to spend speaking with her I could feel her love was very deep for people around her and more.

    Our family and then my parents alone lived across the street from Doris and family since 1972. She would always tease my Dad, as their birthday were just 14 days apart, both being born in 1933. She was always kind and kept up with my family. She lived a good life and was appreciative of all she had. Sending love and condolences.

    Dear Family: My deepest condolences ❣️
    I don’t get on FB regularly so I just saw this. What a surprise! ! It seems like she was just on FB & now gone.
    I loved your precious mom & will always picture her with her beautiful smile. From the time I first met her in Kirby @ Junior High, she always made me feel loved & welcomed in her life. For this little farm girl, it meant a lot. What a loss ❤️‍🩹. You’ll be in my my prayers during this difficult time 🙏
