Larry Doubt, 86, of Springfield, Missouri, passed away on September 7, 2026. He was born on March 23, 1940, to Stanley and LaVaughn (Matthews) Doubt.

Larry graduated from Branson High School where he served as senior class president. He proudly served in the United States Army and was stationed in Korea from 1963 to 1965. He later built a career as a salesman, supplying food to schools, hospitals, and nursing homes. He was named Salesman of the Year several times. With his outgoing personality and genuine interest in others, Larry never met a stranger.

On November 25, 1959, Larry married Barbara “June” Wallace. Together, they shared a marriage and a life marked by devotion, companionship, and service. They were rarely far apart.

Larry was a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served faithfully in many capacities, including as a branch president. His commitment to serving others extended throughout the Willard community. He served on the Willard Park Board, was president of the Willard Fire Protection District, and dedicated many years to Scouting. He served as a leader for his son’s troop and later as an adult leader where his contributions to Scouting earned him the Silver Beaver Award. Larry completed the Wood Badge leadership course as a member of the Owl Patrol, and he often joked that, because of his silver hair, he was the “Silver Owl.” He later served on the staff of several Wood Badge courses, ultimately serving as a course director. He was a beloved coach for his daughter’s softball team and is still spoken of fondly by those he coached.

Larry was steady, generous, and even-tempered. He was almost always singing, whistling, or humming. Each morning began with “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’,” a fitting reflection of the optimism and joy he carried into each day. He also had a well-known love for ice cream, Krispy Kreme doughnuts, and just about anything sweet.

Larry is survived by his wife, June; his children, Tim Doubt and Kimberley Lippelman-Nash and her partner Doug Drake; his grandchildren, Trevor Doubt (Walker) and his wife, Jasmine; Matthew Lippelman and his wife, Vanessa; Marissa Lippelman-Miller and her husband Josh; Austin Doubt and his wife, Sheila; Joshua Lippelman-Nash and his partner, Natalie; and Kaedyn Crabtree; his great-grandchildren, Kobe, Reggie, Hallie, Isaac, Evelyn, and Korra; his sister, Linda Hillenburg, and her husband, George; and his brother-in-law, Bill Clark.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Stanley and LaVaughn Doubt; his son, Christopher Brian Doubt; his sister, Rita Clark; his son-in-law, Carl Lippelman; his son-in-law, Patrick Nash; his daughter-in-law, Amberly Doubt; and a grandson, Ryan Lippelman.

Larry will be remembered for his deep faith, his lifelong service to others, his generous heart, and the songs and laughter that followed him wherever he went. His family, church, and community are better because he was part of them and he will be greatly missed and remembered by so many.
