Doris Hutchinson Travis August 25, 1926 – January 30, 2019 Share this obituary Send Flowers View/Sign Guest Book| Send Sympathy Card A limb has fallen from our family tree. On the afternoon of January 30, 2019, our beloved mother, grandmother, and great grandmother was reunited with our heavenly father. She was 92 years old and a life long resident of the Pine Ridge Community in St. Helena Parish.
She retired from the St. Helena Parish Health Unit with 40 years of service where she prided herself on helping many people in the community. Her love of family and friends brought much joy to her life. Nanny’s longevity could be attributed to her time shared with her children, grandchildren, and especially her great grandchildren.
She was a true farmer’s wife, who loved all things on the farm, the rye grass and cows, her beautiful rose garden, and feeding the hummingbirds. She was a wonderful cook who shared many recipes, but her favorite was her “Nanny Cake”. Her legacy includes family functions, Easter Egg Hunts, seafood gumbo, pool parties, and dove hunts.
She is survived by her children, Terry and Dell Travis, Betty and Lynn Day, and Marilyn Taylor; her grandchildren and spouses, Melissa Day, Travis Day, Ryan and Beth Travis, Anna Maria and Trey Bullinger, Courtney and Michael Passman, and Holly Travis Chaney; her great grandchildren, Blase and Bella Taylor, Emma and John Travis Day, George Taylor and Lawson Bullinger, Michael Charles and Dayne Passman, Alice and Georgia Travis, Cierra, Candace, Chelsea, and Carley James, and Courtney Alexander, Sean and Sarah Kimball, Reagan Kimball, and Mattie Chaney; special friend, Jenny Dawson.
