Doris Nan Cox, 77, of Kerrville, TX, passed away on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, surrounded by her family at her residence. She was born on August 21, 1948, in Tulia, TX, to Loyd and Pauline Heim. She married the love of her life David Cox on July 2, 1967, at First Baptist Church Kerrville.

Doris loved sharing stories from the early years of her life living on the edge of the Palo Duro Canyon where her dad worked on the Tule Ranch. After moving to Kerrville in 1952, she attended Tivy Elementary, Tivy Junior High, and graduated from Tivy High School in 1966. Doris went on to become a beautician and shop owner servicing the Kerrville area for several decades before her health forced her to retire in 2000.

Doris was a devoted Christian who cherished her Bible and the teachings of Jesus. She attended First Baptist Church Kerrville until her health prevented her from doing so. Over the last decade, she and her husband enjoyed worshiping online with of Reverend Stanley of In Touch Ministries. Her favorite Bible verses were Romans 8:28: "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called to His purpose." and Deuteronomy 29:29 "The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law." Her Christian values informed every aspect of her life and molded her into the beloved person she was.
