Janet Doss Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Janet Barker Doss, 72, of Scott Depot, left this earthly plane and ascended to heaven, November 3, 2011. She passed away at home following a peaceful demise from pancreatic cancer. Janet left this world brighter than when she entered. We will miss her glittering eyes, her soft hand-pats of love, her laughter that often turned to joyous crying, and her soothing comfort extended to any in need. She uplifted and encouraged with a gentle grace. She explored and enjoyed life with her husband of nearly 56 years, Wendell (Wink) Doss. Together they created a peaceful, loving home filled with beauty and laughter. Left to carry on her spark are her children and grandchildren: Barry Doss and wife Vicki of Cedar Park, TX; Don Doss of Charleston; Debra Schwertner and husband Don of Schwertner, TX,; Joy Doss and partner Reidun Øvrebø of Charleston. Andrew, James, Jessica, Victoria-Chase, Joshua, Cody, Kelsey, Tori, and Keira. She is also cherished by her sisters Barbara Theierl of Kanawha City and Sandra Chittum of Lake Worth, FL.
