Doris Nell Jordan

Doris Nell Jordan, born July 5, 1938, in Stephenville, Texas, to Jack

and Lona Abbott, passed away January 31, 2026 in Odessa, Texas;

peacefully surrounded by family.

Doris was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and greatgrandmother

whose life was centered around her family. She shared

69 years of marriage with her husband and the love of her life, Donald

Lee Jordan, whom she married on December 11, 1956 in Eastland, Tx.

This year would have marked seventy years together.

Doris graduated in 1956 from Eastland High School and worked

shortly as a telephone operator. She was deeply involved in her

daughters’ lives and activities, serving as an active member of the

PTA and a dedicated Girl Scout leader. She enjoyed working as

a teacher’s aide, helping elementary-aged children in mathematics

and reading.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Jack and Lona Abbott; her

siblings, Wayne Parsons, Jackie Tucker, and Charlene Marenger; and

her daughters, Vickie Jordan and Donna Hodge. Doris had waited a

long time to be reunited with her daughters, and while her family

grieves her passing, they find comfort in imagining the joyful reunion

she is now having with Donna and Vickie.

She is survived by her husband, Donald Lee Jordan; her daughter,

Sandra Jordan; her granddaughters, Gwendolyn, Alexandria, and

Jacquelyn; her son-in-law, Gene Hodge; her grandson, Phillip Hodge;

and her great-grandchildren, Matthew and Ashton Hodge.
