Gracie Louise Mayberry Doss, 92, of Appomattox passed away on Friday, January 3, 2025, at her daughter’s residence. She was the loving wife of the late Douglas O’Steele Doss, Sr.
Born on March 28, 1932, in Appomattox, she was the daughter of the late James Berkley Mayberry and Frances Elizabeth Mann Mayberry. She was a faithful member of Friendship Baptist Church.
On January 3 our family lost a devout Christian, devoted and loving mama, mother-in-law, granny, great granny and great-great granny. We were all so blessed to have had her in our lives. She enriched each and every one of us over the years. She was the sweetest lady, but she also had a unique way of letting you know if you displeased her. She gained her angel wings in the early morning hours, and she is now with our Lord and Savior and has been reunited with the love of her life, Doug, who she was married to for 64 years. She will be greatly missed, and we will treasure the precious memories of her.
