Doris Jean Radford - Kitchell

Doris Jean (Radford) Kitchell passed away in Camelot Nursing home early on the morning of November 20, 2020. She was born on April 2, 1933 to the late Elza and Geneva (Ball) Radford. She was also preceded in death by her brother Ray Radford, sister Melba Ruth (Radford) Miller, her daughter, Gina Mae (Logan) Politte, great grandson Mark Allen Donathan and husband Roy Kitchell. She is survived by the following children Robert (Linda) Logan Sr., Ron (Cindy) Braddy, and son-in-law Robert Politte, Jr; 8 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. Doris was probably best known for her love of family and of dogs. She was a longtime dog groomer having her own grooming parlor in her home and working at the pet store in downtown Farmington for many years. Doris also loved giving back to the community. She was an active member in the Ladies Auxiliary at the Farmington VFW for many years. She would also pack up one or two of her grandchildren along with a dog or two and go to one of the nursing homes to visit the residents. Another place that was near and dear to her heart was the Humane Society and she would volunteer there helping to take care of the animals. She also enjoyed volunteering at the Senior Center in Farmington helping with the meals. She had a love for life and loved to talk to people. In the earlier days, if you walked into her house in the morning, you would find her with a cup of coffee, talking on her CB using the CB handle of Lady Groomer. You would also find a dog or two or three lying around, but always well groomed. There was probably never a time that Doris didnt own at least one dog. Doris was a wonderful grandmother, although no one called her grandma, everyone called her Nanny, even her children and people who werent even related to her. She loved her family and all of her grandkids. At Nannys you could get good conversation with lots of laughs, food, especially ice cream and cookies and of course lots of love. Doris had a beautiful smile and wonderful laugh and could brighten any room she was in. She would hold you when you cried or get on to you when needed, but always with love. We love you and will miss you, Nanny!
