Doris W. Meade

Doris W. Meade, loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, age 75, of Nokesville, VA went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Wednesday, October 10, 2018 at her home. Doris was born December 3, 1942 in Fauquier County, VA, daughter of the late Floyd and Ida (Sours) Walters. She was preceded in death by one brother, Jesse Walters, and three sisters, Mildred Walters, Ella V. Bowling, and Shelby Polk. She was a member of Chapel Springs Assembly of God and had a long time career as an office manager, first at Vienna Radio & TV, then in the funeral industry at Lee Funeral Home and Pierce Funeral Home, retiring in December 2016. She was well known in the community for her kindness and compassion which helped many families through some of the most difficult days of their lives. She viewed her role in the funeral home as her ministry rather than simply her job. She loved Southern Gospel Quartet music and looked forward every September to the convention in Pigeon Forge, TN. She had just returned from another wonderful Pigeon Forge trip, accompanied by her son and two of her granddaughters, the week prior to her death. Doris was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 52 years, David L. Meade, Sr. Survivors include two children, Darlene Dawson and husband David of Orange, VA and David Meade, Jr. and wife Jackie of Manassas; five grandchildren, Brittany Lester and husband Brandon of Culpeper, VA, Eric Dawson and wife Amber of Rhoadesville, VA, Makayla Meade and boyfriend Caleb Phillips, Shailyn Meade, Madisyn Meade and boyfriend Aiden O’Malley; one great-granddaughter, Harmonie Marie Dawson and one great-grandson, James Ryan Lester; two sisters, Charlotte Mae Lightner of Amissville, and Mildred M. Langhorne and husband David of Nokesville; two brothers, Rev. Paul H Walters of Bear, DE and Floyd L. Walters, Jr. of Mathias, WV; many nieces and nephews, extended family and countless friends. The family will receive friends from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. on Sunday, October 14 at Pierce Funeral Home, 9609 Center Street, Manassas, VA. Funeral services will be held at 10:00 a.m., on Monday, October 15, at Chapel Springs Church, 11500 New Life Way, Bristow, VA with Pastor Doug Chapman and Rev. Bill Tatum officiating. Entombment will follow at Stonewall Memory Gardens. Expressions of sympathy may take the form of flowers or contributions to Chapel Springs Assembly of God Missions.
