Biography: DORIS DOWNS, age 89, of DeValls Bluff, Arkansas passed away on February 25, 2021.
She was born in DeValls Bluff, Arkansas in 1932. She later moved to Miami, Florida with her husband and raised four children: James Hardee, Catherine Martindill, Evelyn Colby, and Gene Hardee. The family relocated back to Arkansas, and Doris remarried Willie Downs. She worked as a bookkeeper for many years, as well as a writer for her local newspaper. As she got older, Doris got involved with the Silver Haired Legislature, a group dedicated to promote conscientious legislation for Arkansas’ seniors. An avid reader, gardener, and antiquer, Doris enjoyed the simple things. She was a smart-witted, civically engaged, and friendly woman.
She is survived by her 4 children, 9 grandchildren, and 4 great-grandchildren.
A Graveside service will be private for family at a later date, due to COVID-19.
