Doris Geraldine Ferrell Mills

Doris Geraldine Ferrell Mills was born January 24, 1924 to the late Elizabeth Ferrell and the late James Ferrell in Savannah, Georgia. She had one brother, Charles Ferrell, whom preceded her in death.

She met and married James Harris Mills, whom also preceded her in death. To that union, one daughter was born.

Doris was well loved and cherished by her family and everyone that crossed her path. She was very loving, kind and devoted mother and grandmother. She had a laugh that would light up a room, and hearing her laugh would make you laugh even if you didn't feel like laughing. To her family, she was mama, our beautiful mama. We are going to miss hearing your voice, seeing your smile, and hearing you laugh.

Doris graduated from high school and worked as an agent for a local insurance company in Savannah, Georgia. She also worked several other small jobs along the way.

She will be deeply missed. She departed this life on July 8, 2012 at 11:32 pm.

She leaves to cherish her memories: her one and only loving daughter, Gladys Yvonne James of Savannah, Georgia; son-in-law, LeRoy James of Savannah, Georgia; seven grandchildren, Bridget, Patrick, Leroy Alfred, Tawnia, Demetrius, Bernard and LeVar; eleven great-grandchildren; five great great grandchildren; and a host of other relatives and friends.
