Doris was born on the family farm near Beason, on

Donson Kindred, the third youngest of seven
children. Doris was married to Derald L. Reinhart
for 59 years. He preceded Doris in death in 2012.

Waynesville, and Brad (Jeanmarie) Reinhart of

Reinhart of Normal, and many beloved nieces and
nephews.
In addition to Derald, Doris was preceded in death
by one grandson and six siblings. |
As a child, Doris walked to Mt. Zion
Country School, then attended Beason Grade and High
School. She deeply treasured her schoolmates and
fellow alumni. Following her marriage to Derald,
they worked side by side milking Holstein cattle,
and raising hogs, sheep, and Hereford cattle. They
were also grain farmers in Logan and DeWitt
counties. Family members have fond memories walking
beans every year with her, helping to make her
famous homemade noodles, and freezing homegrown
sweet corn. In addition to farming, Doris was a
rural mail carrier for many, many years.
She was a member of the Waynesville
United Methodist Church and active in Waynesville
Women’s Club. Doris enjoyed the many years spent
making thousands of gingerbread cookies and icing to
sell, earning money for a playground, and making
other contributions to the Waynesville community.
Doris loved life. Her smile was infectious and
bigger than life! She was tough as nails, worked
hard, never complained, loved to dance, sought after
fun, looked for the good in every situation, saw the
best in most, loved her family HARD, cherished her
friends, and was as loyal as they come. She
encouraged everyone to go after their dreams:
business, education, life. We can only hope that
those around us love us the way that she loved
others.
Memorials may be made to Waynesville
Women’s Club, Waynesville United Methodist Church,
or Waynesville Fire and Rescue Squad.
Final arrangements are entrusted with Quiram-Peasley
Funeral Home of Atlanta.
