Betty "Doris" Warlick Deck, 93, passed away October 23, 2024.
A beloved mother, grandmother, wife, and friend who will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
Born January 5, 1931, in Fallston, Doris excelled academically, earning her degree in Home Economics from Winthrop University, graduating Summa Cum Laude. Following her passion for education, she taught home economics in Charlotte before becoming the Rutherford County Extension Officer. Through her extensive work with Rutherford County's 4-H Club, she met her husband, Kenneth Deck, and made a lasting impact in the community throughout her years of service.
Doris's dedication to her community extended beyond her professional life as she spent countless hours actively involved in her church, the PTA, and countless community initiatives. Known for her intelligence and work ethic, she also had a talent for needlework, truly enjoyed being in the garden, and was famous for her delicious pickles, often considered the best in the county.
Doris's memory will be cherished by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Doris is survived by her daughter Evelyn, her three sons Alan, Glenn, Paul, their wives Stacey, Debe and Pamela, along with her beloved grandchildren: Caroline, Brian, Shelby, Stephen, Darbi, Capri, and Rachel.
