Doris Eileen

Henry

Doris Eileen (Hubbard) Henry, daughter of the late Jennie M. Ward Hubbard and Ruben W. Hubbard was born in Bunker, Missouri, on March 5, 1933. She departed this life at her home in Springfield, Missouri on April 17, 2013, at the age of 80. Doris was the ninth of ten children born to her parents; she had a great love for family, and was never happier than when there was a gathering together of family and friends.

On October 27, 1951, Doris was united in marriage to Maxwell Stuart Henry in Pocahontas, Arkansas. She and Max started out their married life together in St. Louis for several years, and then lived in many places around the country as part of Max's military service. During this time, their two sons were born, and in 1965 they moved to Ellington. Doris was a member of the Ellington First Baptist Church. Her hobbies included needlepoint and embroidery, reading, sketching and painting, her beloved dogs, volunteering for the Alzheimer's Association, and watching St. Louis Cardinals baseball. She moved from Ellington to Springfield in 2006, and for the first three years of her residence there she had season tickets to the Springfield Cardinals baseball team, and enjoyed attending these games immensely.

Her parents, her husband, seven sisters and two brothers preceded Doris in death. She is survived by her two sons, David Henry of Leadwood, Missouri, and Douglas Henry of Springfield, Missouri. She is also survived by Tamara Henry, Billy House-Henry, and her grandchildren, Mollie Phillips, Bess Henry, Matthew Henry, Angelita Pritchett, and Thera Lopez. She leaves numerous nieces, nephews, and dear friends who celebrate having known her for all these years.
