Doris Jean (Cobb) Horton

Doris Cobb Horton, 91, beloved wife, mother, sister, and aunt, departed this life on February 11, 2026, to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

The family would like to express their gratitude to Carolyn Ward for the exceptional care she and her team provided Doris. Special thanks also goes to Darlene Staton who has served as a dedicated caregiver for Doris for more than a year. The family will be forever grateful for Carolyn and Darlene’s devotion and compassion toward our aunt.  Aunt Doris’s watchful neighbors, Lily Gorham and Susie and Glenn Waters have long supplied assistance and friendship to Aunt Doris.  The family thanks them for faithfully supporting her. The family is also appreciative to the Service League of Greenville Hospice team for their compassionate service.
