Doris Steen Kennedy died January 11, 2023 at the age of 77.
She was born in Marlboro County, South Carolina on November 12, 1945 to the late John and Mary Steen.
She was a member of the United Pentecostal Church for many years. She was a Godly woman who loved her family very much. Not a day went by where she didn't speak of the Lord. She was dedicated, a hard worker, and a strong woman who prayed often. She would invite soldiers who didn't have a place to go during the holidays over for dinner. She was also a singer and would often travel to different nursing homes and sing for them. She loved gardening, sewing, crafting, and taking care of her family. She lived for her children and grandchildren. They will miss her very much.
She was preceded in death by 11 of her siblings.
She is survived by her husband of 56 years, Jerry Wilkins Kennedy; five children, Charles Jr., Stephanie, Jerry Jr. (Bit), Tonya, and Crissie; 7 grandchildren; 2 great-grandchildren; and 3 siblings, Kathy, Gary, and Nell.
A memorial service will be held at 4 p.m. Saturday, January 14, 2023 at Solid Rock UPC. 1430 N. Main St. Raeford, NC 28376.
