I loved my aunt Doris, I remember all the times we spent together it encouraged me. Doris-Spencer lived with my Aunt Odette and my Grandfather James her shoe size was 2 1/2 and 3, collected pennies when we would walk, she always took walks, we always went shopping for clothes, she encouraged me to do the right things in life, she was a beautiful woman and fun to be with. I will always cherish ever memory with Doris. I will miss you Torya Yvette Ross Stillwell

Condolence from Sherri Smalls on February 5th, 2021 11:01 am

My mom, my aunt, and my grandma banded together and gave me a village of support when I was growing up. Aunt Doris is someone special to remember with warmth, think of with pride, and cherish with love. Doris was different than anybody in my family on either side. Thanks Aunt Doris for all you done!

Condolence from Aisha Jordan on February 5th, 2021 12:18 pm

I remember only a couple years ago leaving a visit to my dad in the hospital and I got a video call from Calvin and JohnJohn with Aunt Doris on the road traveling to some – ahem – FUN places (lol!) and Aunt Doris was just like you all said in the service – she was quiet but when she spoke OH GOODNESS! They had me cracking up! Those Stillwell sisters might be still, but you never know how deep that well of Spirit was in them til they spoke. Much love to all the Ohio, Bluefield, WV, North Carolina and Virginia family (and loving parts sunder) and especially to Aunt Mary Kate as well.

Condolence from Evans family on February 22nd, 2021 11:17 am

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family in this time of sorrow. Continue to rely on God and know that he hears your prayers, because he cares for you. Truly sorry for your loss.
