All my grief and pain is over and my restless tossing has passed. I am now at peace forever, safely home in heaven
at last. I am in heaven, now. Oh, so happy and so bright. Theres a great relief in knowing, Jesus is now my
everlasting light.
On Tuesday, July 3, 2018, God in His infinite wisdom, Lowered Down His Chariot and escorted His
dear child, Doris Bacon Boggs, to her new residence; a place full of joy, peace, and comfort.
Doris entered this world on July 2, 1945, the first born to the late Clarence and Willie Bell Bacon. She
was nurtured and taught strong family values and Godly principles of life. Her childhood days were filled
with many happy experiences and adventures. Doris was the notable babysitter to many of her cousins.
At an early age, Doris accepted Christ as her personal Savior and joined Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church. She
worked faithfully in the youth ministry and sung in the youth choir. As the years passed, she joined the
Ushers Ministry and served diligently until she became church clerk in 1975. She served as church clerk
for 43 years. Doris served in the Womens Mission Ministry and was President of the Deaconess
Ministry. Her ultimate passion was serving as the Womens Sunday School Class Teacher.
Doris was a 1963 graduate of Evans County High School, Home of the Longhorns. After graduation,
she ventured to Savannah State College while serving as a paraprofessional in the Evans County School
System. Doris greatest love was for the children; therefore, her pursuit in education continued. She
received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education from Georgia Southern College, Statesboro, GA
(1974); Master of Middle School Education from Armstrong State College, Savannah, GA (1984);
Educational Specialist Degree from Troy State, Phoenix, AL (1994). Doris was an exceptional 5* Grade
Reading Teacher, Assistant Principal, Director of ACE Academy, and Principal of Claxon Middle School.
Having touched the lives of so many students, Doris retired from the Educational realm after 35 years of
dedicated service.
On December 31, 1966, Doris was united in Holy Matrimony to Mr. Bobby Boggs. They were blessed
with two beautiful children, Chris, who preceded her in death, and Wanda. Over their 51 years together,
they reared their children, grand/great grands, sisters, and other family members according to their
inherited principles and values.
Doris led an active role in the community. She was Past Matron of Sweet Evening Breeze #269 OES, and
member of the Golden Circle; one of the originators of the Camp STARS After School/Summer Program;

community service; served on the Board of Ogeechee Teehnical College; member of the Zeta Phi Beta

Loving hands were put to rest.
