Doris “Grammie D” Cobb Smith died peacefully at home on November 17, 2016 in Rising Sun, MD at the age of 77. Born on June 6, 1939 in Natick, MA, she was the daughter of the late George and Beryl Cobb.
Doris graduated in 1958 from King Philip Regional High School. She then went to work at AT&T Telephone Company before continuing on as a Tupperware dealer for 44 years, and then working at Stetson University. Doris was skilled in knitting and often made Christmas stockings. She was a passionate individual who loved her New England Patriots and Boston Red Sox. She was consumed in her love for Jesus Christ. Doris was an active and dedicated member of the Rising Sun Church of the Nazarene and often volunteered at Rising Sun Elementary School.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her son, Wayne “Butchie” Watters Jr. and her brother, George “Jack” Cobb.

Our Family all loved Grammy D. She was always so kind and nice to our 3 grandaughters. They all had her as a teacher at Caravan. She was so thoughtful and giving. Always had an encouraging word to say! She will be greatly missed!

What can I say???? I have certainly lost one of my best friends, my traveling companion, my shopping companion, my Bluegrass buddy, my Southern Gospel companion to Calvary church in Lititz, PA. We did so much together and actually had a wonderful relationship. She always said, "we augured like cats and dogs but when it was over, it was over." We never held a grudge. I loved this special Christ-like lady who knew where she was going when she passed over. Thank you God for putting her in my life 10 years ago because we had a lot of beautiful memories. I love her grandchildren and she loved mine. We shared them together. Only yesterday I had a beautiful story to tell her about one of mine, then realized I no longer have anyone to brag too. Love you Doris and know I will miss you always. I also want to thank Ray, Ken, Casey, Jenn, Mason and Kendra for sharing Doris with me and including me in their family ventures. It's been a great ride.

To all the family, My deepest sympathy to all of you. My heart aches for all of you. Rising Sun will never be the same without her in it. I have so enjoyed Grammie D and all of her posts, her smile and laugh were just infectious. I wish I could be with you Monday to celebrate Doris's life but my work schedule wont permit it. All of you are in my thoughts and prayer. I pray you find comfort knowing she is with Butchie and that they are both in the arms of her loving Lord. God Bless Adrian Cecil Brown

My condolences to the family. May you feel God's strength and comfort. Grammie D touched my life and my family lives. She was always an encourager to everyone. Grammie D would come to upward soccer and root for everyone. We all have the memories of her love and kindness. I loved to hear her passion for Christ at church when she gave her testimony. She is an inspiration to speak boldly for Christ. A great legacy to leave behind. Thank you Lord for allowing Grammie D's path to cross with mine. A blessing I will treasure.
