FARMINGTON Doris E. (Clayborne) Denison, 92, of Farmington, MO, was called home by her Savior on Friday, September 22, 2023.

Doris enjoyed her family of faith at the Church of the Open Bible and expressed her love for Christ by constantly helping others. She will be remembered for her selflessness and always putting others first. Volunteering at "Dress to Impress" was her most recent way of doing that. Her home was always the gathering place for family and friends. She spent her happiest hours swinging on her front porch, enjoying her family crowded around her. She also loved visiting the families of the Mennonite community. Over the years, Doris cared for many children in her home and considered each of them part of her family.
