The Life of Doris Kate Hight
With deep sadness, love and hope, we mourn the death of our mother, Doris Kate Schoeps Hight. She died Tuesday, July 26, 2005, at the Baylor Hospital in Dallas.
She lived a life of love and service with gentleness and kindness to her family and friends. “Strength and honor are her clothing. She shall rejoice in time to come, she opens her mouth with wisdom. And on her tongue is the law of kindness. Her children rise up and call her blessed. Many daughters have done well. But you excel them all.” Proverbs 31.
Doris was born Aug. 2, 1922 in Ennis, the daughter of Harley Millican and Dottie Kate Edmondson Schoeps. She was reared in Ennis and was a graduate of Ennis High School and Baylor University. On Oct. 21, 1944 she was married to James Clinton Hight. After their marriage they lived in Pittsburgh, PA, moving to Ennis in 1946. In 1948 they moved to Shreveport and in 1957 to New Orleans. In 1969 they moved to Lafayette, LA. She returned to Ennis in 1979.
She had one brother, Harley Schoeps, Jr. She was the beloved wife of the late James Clinton Hight and devoted mother of Jean Hight Yates of Cincinnati, OH, Michael Hight of Ennis and James Patrick Hight of Lake Charles, LA; grandmother of Kristin Yates Jesser, Jennifer Hight, Michael Hight and Jonathan Hight; great-grandmother of Abigail Jesser and Ryan Jesser.
