Docia loved her family, and she particularly loved finding ways to show her love for them, from making their favorite meals to buying little gifts for her granddaughters and learning about football for her grandsons. She loved being a grandmother and was so excited to meet her first great-granddaughter, Hallie Jane. She particularly enjoyed spending time with her extended family and loved her nieces and nephews. Docia was an avid reader and shared her love of books with her daughters and grandchildren. Docia exhibited a sense of compassion to all she met. She began attending Peru Grace Brethren Church in high school and was eventually married there. She faithfully taught preschool Sunday School class for many years and served there also as VBS teacher, JAM/JOY teacher, and was an encouragement to many.
