Dorothy Combs strolled into heaven Tuesday night, four days after being told she only had a few hours left. Those days were absent of pain and filled with the same passions with which she filled her other 82 years, pouring words of comfort and challenge into her boys and their wives and into her grandchildren and other family members and friends, glorifying God, witnessing about the need to trust Christ for salvation and live every day for Him, and reminding everyone that she was OK, had no regrets and was ready to finish this life so she could be with God and her husband, Bill. Dorothy leaves behind three boys and two daughters-in-law, Gary and Ragena Combs of Republic, Rodney and Cyndy Combs of Rockford, IL, and David Combs of Nixa, seven grandchildren, four siblings, and many other family members and friends. A celebration service will be held at Greenlawn Funeral Home South, on Monday, September 15, at 1:00 p.m. with visitation at noon. Please come. You can send flowers since her allergies are no longer an issue, but she would rather you give a gift in her memory to the Youth Ministry of First Baptist Church of Battlefield, MO (5010 S. State Hwy FF, Battlefield, Missouri 65619). What a lady!
