Garnett Lizzie Dorris was born June 25, 1899, in Carter County, Missouri, and died March 18, 1968, in Poplar Bluff Hospital, Butler County, MO.; she was 68.

Thomas and Dicie are buried side by side in Aldrich Valley Cemetery. My father (still living) was 22, when his grandmother Dicie died, and as he states, "I carried her (he was a pallbearer) her last mile".

I was 17 when my grandmother passed. I remember her as soft spoken, and always singing, she had a great voice. She loved to play jokes on family and friends, and if she wasn't cooking, baking, canning, or singing she was laughing. A woman of deep faith, she always prayed, and read her Bible.
