Obituary
Doris Ellen Price daughter of the late Purna E. Williams Grigsby and John B. Grigsby was born at Nimmons, Arkansas, on March 20, 1920. She departed this life at the Baptist Home in Ironton, Missouri, on June 23, 2010, having attained the age of 90 years, three months and three days.
On April 17, 1944 at Piggott, Arkansas, Doris was united in marriage to D Earl Price and to this union four children were born. Doris and D Earl celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary at a reception in Piggott, AR, in 1994. D Earl died two years later in 1996 after 52 years of marriage. Doris was a farmer's wife and homemaker. She did work outside the home for a while as a cook at Southeast Central Elementary School in Clay County, AR, in the early 1950's where her "kids" attended. The family moved from Carryville, AR, to St. Louis, MO, in March of 1959, when Mr. Price became employed as a letter carrier with the U.S. Postal Service. Doris and D Earl were devout Christians and serving the Lord was very important to them. Doris made a profession of faith as a young woman in her hometown of Nimmons, AR. She and her mother were Baptized at the same time along with a best friend, Martha Virginia. Doris was a Charter member of the Nimmons Baptist Church and a member of the Lesterville First Baptist Church. She enjoyed cooking, reading cookbooks, going to church and spending time with family and friends.
Doris was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, and one brother, A.C. Grigsby.
Doris is survived by her son David E. Price of St. Louis, Missouri, three daughters, Linda D. Price of Ironton, MO, Patricia A. Condra and husband Larry of Creve Coeur, MO, Doris K. (D.K) Price of Overland, MO, one grandson, Drew F. Condra and wife Christine of St. Louis, MO, two great-grandchildren, Anja Paige Condra and Ethan Foley of St. Louis, and two sisters, Nina Bowen of Wood River, IL, Carol Parks of Piggott, AR. Doris will be deeply missed by her family and friends who will mourn her passing.
