CROWLEY — Doris DeLaine (Henry) Price, a beautiful woman and faithful Catholic, a loving wife, beloved mother and devoted friend, left this world on the thirty first day of July in the year of our Lord 2014 to live an eternal life wrapped in the arms of Christ Jesus as HE has promised. Service: 10 a.m. Thursday, August 14 at St. Ann Catholic Church in Burleson. Rosary: 7 p.m. Wednesday, August 13 at St. Ann. Interment: 2 p.m. Thursday, August 14 at Dallas Fort Worth National Cemetery. Memorials: The family asks that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Burleson Pregnancy Aide Center in memory of Doris and her commitment to saving the lives of the unborn. Doris’ life began on April 3, 1947 in Mrs. Doonan’s house in Brooklyn, IA a house with no number on a street with no name. Her arrival was recorded in the family bible which in 1969 was used to obtain her first birth certificate. As a small child, Doris and her younger brother Joseph rode a pony to their one room school house. A sharecropper’s daughter, her clothes were hand-me-downs or crafted by her mother from flower sacks. She spent most of the summers of her youth canning to ensure her family had food through the winter. Along her early journey, Doris survived a house fire where the only thing saved was the recently purchased refrigerator. After her father was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, the family moved to Grinnell, IA where Doris worked part time as a nurse’s aide and full time as a proxy mother feeding her six brothers and sisters, cleaning their home, and going to school. At the age of 16, Doris got her first store bought dress so she could go to the school dance. Doris grew into a beautiful Christian woman who attended A.I.B. Business College in Ames, IA before tiring of the “poor Doris” stories because she hadn’t married by the age of 21 and moving to Texas in early 1969. As luck would have it, her eventual husband, Art, was returning from his combat tour in Viet Nam, a brash but stressed out Gun Pilot. Doris loved to dance, as did he, and after a short romance which saw her heal him, they wed on December 20, 1969. That my friends is how a boy from the projects on Staten Island, NY and a sharecropper’s daughter from Brooklyn, IA started 44 years of happy marriage. If you met Doris you liked her. If you got to know her you loved her and she loved you back. Doris raised a loving Catholic Christian family and accumulated scores of loving friends and a very large and loving extended family. She traveled extensively through Europe capped off by two trips to Rome and Florence Italy. Doris saw the National Parks and most of this great land we call America including Hawaii and Glacier Bay Alaska. Doris was an accomplished angler having caught a 9lb bass at Lake Fork, TX and a 22 inch brown trout on a dry fly on the Green River in Flaming Gorge, UT. She loved to golf and even broke 100 a few times. Doris was a Tea Party Patriot and a prayer group Captain at Saint Ann Catholic Church in Burleson, TX. She spent the last 10 years working at the Burleson Pregnancy Aid Center helping to save unborn children. This was Doris D. (Henry) Price. How could anyone not love her? Doris was preceded in death by her father Therald Henry, brother Richard Henry, sister-in-law Mary Lynn Price, brother-in-law Timothy Price, loving and innocent niece Lauren Price, and innocent step-granddaughter Piper. Survivors: Doris is survived by her Mother Wilma Henry, her husband of 44 years Arthur R. Price Jr, son Arthur R Price III his wife Leslie and stepdaughter Kennedy, son Gregory K. Price his wife Julie and daughters Jaci D. Price and Jordyn R. Price, and son Joseph P. Price. Doris is also survived by her brothers James Henry, Joseph Henry and Dale Henry, Sisters Patty VanTome and Sheryl Sanders, 16 nephews, 8 nieces and countless beloved friends.

Leo & I met Art & Doris in the early 1970’s and always enjoyed being with them and their family. Doris was a very special person, and I enjoyed visiting with her on Thursday afternoons when I was at the BPAC. We always talked about our children & grandchildren, which were the joy of our lives. Love you Doris, rest in peace. Jackie

Art, I was stunned and heartbroken to hear the news of the passing away of one of the most wonderful woman I have ever had the pleasure of calling my good friend. Please hug the boys for me and tell them I feel their pain.
It makes me so glad that she and I were able to reconnect not long ago and it was like we had never been apart…we had a wonderful time that day…even talked about getting the old softball team together…
My love and my prayers are with you and your family.
