Doris Powers Obituary

Doris Azilee Nodine Powers, 88, passed away on Wednesday, April 22, 2015. She moved to Milton, with her husband Ken, in 1959. In the years that followed, Doris was an avid gardener, enjoying plants and flowers of all kind, and was a member of the Twilight Circle at the Garden Club in Milton. At the early age of 12, Doris began to teach Sunday school, and she continued for many years until she and her husband Ken, moved to assisted living. Doris also worked in establishing and helping to grow the library at Pine Terrace Baptist Church where she and Ken were active members.
