Doris Mae Anthony
May 24, 1928 — August 22, 2017
Doris Mae Anthony, 89, of Chadron, Ne, peacefully slipped into Heaven Tuesday, August 22, 2017 at Belleview Heights in Aurora, Co. Her CELEBRATION OF LIFE service will be held at the church they are members, Chadron First Baptist Church (802 Chadron Ave), on Friday, September 1 at 10:30am with Pastor Aaron Sprock officiating. Come enjoy the fellowship as family & friends reminisce by sharing favorite memories about her. Following the service a delicious meal is being served by the gracious ladies of First Baptist!
Doris was born May 24, 1928 in Alliance, NE. She was a junior in HS when the Riggins family moved to Chadron from Lexington, Ne. Liifelong friendships developed with cheerleading and school dances keeping her hopping! After graduating HS in May 1946, while working at Pedersen Drug, she met and married David Eugene Anthony on June 1, 1946 at Chadron United Methodist Church. Upon moving to Kansas City, Mo, Doris worked while David attended Watchmakers school. The honeymoon soon became well supervised by the arrivals of a daughter and a son in 1947 & 48! There wasn't anything Doris wouldn't do for others and her talents were vast; from Jewelry store bookkeeper, Sunday School Superintendent, best cook and bread baker, to gardening, sewing, knitting, embroidery. After David retired, they lived in Scottsbluff for a few years. Doris was employed by Zoellner's Clothing Store where she thrived as clothing buyer & managed women's apparel. Catching the bug from David, her competitiveness on the golf courses also won her several trophies & prizes in several clubhouses! Importantly though, her deepest passions were for God & her family!
Survivors include daughter, Diana Parks; son, Rick Anthony; grandchildren, Troy Stout, Camala Mann, LeiShel Patrick, Colette Fernandez, Ricci Sanders and Kaly Anthony; nine great-grandchildren; sister, Georgia Osborne; brothers, Jerry Riggins and Randy Riggins. Preceding in death were her husband, David Anthony; parents, Lowell & Gertrude Riggins; brother, Tom Riggins; grandson, Jesse Anthony.
The family expresses great appreciation and gratitude to Belleview Heights Alzheimer's Special Care Center and to Sunset Hospice, both in Aurora, Co, for their extraordinary philosophy of care provided abundantly for Doris.
