Verna Lea Dorr

Verna Lea Dorr of Mineral Wells, Texas, went to be with our Lord on July 3, 2020. She was the third of eight children born to the late Jessie and Laverne Peerson on December 19, 1939, in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Verna was preceded in death by husbands Marvin Dorr in 1997 and Pat Looper in 2019. Verna is survived by her three children Valerie (and Kenneth) Martin of Mineral Wells; Kelly (and RD) Alderman of Lubbock; and Matt (and Christy) Dorr of Mineral Wells. She is also survived by six grandchildren and their spouses who affectionately referred to her as their “Tu Tu”: Linzi and Kyle Bailey; Megan and Willie Hudson; Kandis and Brett Brothers; Zeke and Melissa Dorr; Colt and Skye Dorr; and, Luke and Katy Dorr, along with 14 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by three sisters, two brothers, numerous nieces and nephews, and many dear friends. Our sweet Tu Tu devoted her life to those she loved, always placing everyone else’s needs above her own. Her family and close friends were the most important things in her life. Her selfless love and her sweet laughter will always be remembered by those who knew her. She was immensely proud of her family and she leaves us with so much love and so many beautiful memories. Graveside Services will be at Woodland Park Cemetery on Thursday, July 9th at 10:00 a.m. with interment by Whites Funeral Home in Mineral Wells, Texas. With our desire to celebrate Verna’s life with a public gathering, we respectfully ask those who plan to attend to wear masks.
