Doris Jordan took pride in her home and worked hard to create the best life for her family. From making homemade breakfast every morning for her growing family to cooking large meals for her family to enjoy every time they gathered. She supported her husband in all he did including pastoring five churches (Hiwassee Union, Double Springs, West End, Pisgah, and Old Salem). Doris and Herman took six three-week mission trips to Ghana, Africa, always returning with stories about God's work there through the International Mission Board.
