  cause for celebration, and Dorothy Doss of Fort Worth reached
  that impressive milestone in her life in 2022; and

  working at a bank one summer, she met a young banker named James

  Church, and they shared many years together as leading citizens
  of Weatherford; they were blessed with two sons, Jim and John,
  and a daughter, Nancy; and

  supporters of Weatherford College, and later in life, Mrs. Doss
  played a vital role in the restoration of the church where she and
  her husband were married; Mr. Doss passed away in 2000, and in
  2006, the James and Dorothy Doss Heritage and Culture Center
  opened in Weatherford; this handsome, 23,000-square-foot museum
  is dedicated to celebrating the rich heritage of Parker County
  through its collections, exhibitions, and events; and
         WHEREAS, Today, Mrs. Doss lives in retirement in Fort
  Worth, where she delights in the company of her friends and
  loved ones; and
