Doris McKinney

Doris Maxine Baldwin Cate McKinney, 83, of Maumelle, Arkansas passed away February 8, 2015. She was born June 17, 1931 in Lonoke County, Arkansas to Hemp and Mary Baldwin of Lonoke. Although Doris lived at various times in Missouri, Texas and Utah, Arkansas was always home. She was a member of the First Baptist Church in Little Rock for many years. Besides Doris' love of God, church and family, especially her grandchildren, she had a special place in her heart for the Arkansas Razorbacks, golf, travel and cooking.
Doris is survived by three children, Joan Marie McKinney McCune (John) of Thornton, Colorado, Phyllis Ann Cate Nunnally (Bill) of Maumelle, and Vanessa Lynn McKinney Brickman (Tony) also of Maumelle; three grandchildren, Jeana Marie McCune Yager (Adam) of Kansas City, Missouri, Anthony James Brickman, Jr. and Afton AnnLynn Brickman, both of Maumelle; one great-grandchild, William Thomas Yager of Kansas City, Missouri; siblings Helen Glover of Carlisle, Eva Sullivan and Tom Baldwin, both of Little Rock, and Raymond Baldwin of Cabot; and countless other nieces, nephews, cousins, family and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Hemp and Mary Baldwin; husbands David Nicholas Cate and James Warren McKinney; son Dennis Neal Cate; and granddaughter Jennifer Noel McCune.
