Dora was born in Chillicothe, Missouri on September 21, 1949. She attended Washington High school and married her high school sweetheart William D. Terrell on June 21, 1968. She spent her first two years of marriage as a Navy wife. She was a

homemaker while raising her three children. She then began working at Davis Automotive. She later worked her way up and eventually became a pioneer being one of the first women in a predominately male business to own and run a multi-million-dollar Automotive Paint and Supply store. Anyone that knew Dora knew she loved her family, especially her grandkids. She was the life of every party and lived life to the fullest every day. Her favorite things included mushroom hunting, gator

rides and bonfires at hog pen, family get-togethers, entertaining, crafting, and last but not least trying her luck at a casino or a scratch-off ticket. She was loved by all who met her and her bigger-than-life personality will be missed by many.

She is survived by her husband of 55 years, Bill. Three children, David Terrell and wife Lisa, Dj Terrell and wife Sherry,

Debbie Vandervoort, and husband Tex and her seven grandkids, Luke Terrell, Logan Terrell, Braeden Terrell, Chase Terrell, Nate Vandervoort, Kenzie Terrell, Kylie Vandervoort and two great-grandchildren Kayson Terrell and Baby girl Terrell on the way. Last but not least, her dog and constant companion, Annie.
