Doris Hembree Gramling's Obituary
Doris Hembree Gramling, 94,of Austell, Georgia, went to heaven on January 30, 2019.
Her life was centered around her family and church. She was a faithful member of the Church of God of Prophecy (Powder Springs Christian Fellowship) in Powder Springs and wanted everyone to know the love of God and meet her in heaven. She enjoyed family reunions, meeting people, making crafts and quilts, and reading. She worked as an inspector at Bell Aircraft during WW II, and years later retired from Dixie Bearings. Possibly the highlight of her life was her trip to Ireland, where she kissed the Blarney Stone (by proxy).
Doris was preceded in death by parents Homer and Elsie Hembree, husband Ides Gramling, and son Verlyn Gramling, as well as siblings Durell (Ruby) Hembree, Howard (Dorothy) Hembree, Tommy Hembree, Marcelle Hooks, and Helen (John) Murdoch.
