DORRIS, Carol Jean

The Daily Courier, Prescott, Arizona Tuesday, January 23, 2018, page 6a Carol Jean Smith-Dorris was born in her grandparents’ home in Turner, Oregon, on Oct. 18, 1930, to Charley and Mary Standley, and went home to be with the Lord and many friends and family on Friday, Jan. 19, 2018, several weeks later than she would’ve liked, but that’s between her and God. Carol grew up in Turner and completed her education in the same schoolhouse. She was hired at AT&T at the age of 17, thinking that she would stay for a year, but retired from the phone company after 32 years. After retiring, she enjoyed several more years of employment, working locally in the travel industry and the jewelry business. Carol and her husband, Jack, and son, Bruce, moved to Prescott from California in 1974, where she remained for the rest of her life. She was a member of First Baptist Church, where she participated in the choir and was head of Women’s Ministry for 8 years. Carol was married to Jack Smith for 52 years. Several years after his death, she married Paul Dorris, whom she knew from church and always thought to be quite dapper. They were married nearly 10 years until his death last Easter. Carol is survived by children Cyndee Lieberman (Don Bonnell) and Bruce Smith (Cheryl Nuttall); stepchildren, Susan Paluszcyk, Dennis Dorris and Judy Dorris; and grandchildren, Rhiannon Smith, Jake Smith and Kristen Lieberman. She’s also survived by great-grand- daughter, Lily, and several step-grandchildren, cousins, and nieces and nephews. A memorial service will be Sat., Jan. 27, 2018, at 11 a.m., at Solid Rock Christian Fellowship, 148 S. Marina, Prescott. Information provided by survivors
