Doris (Dottie) Scott Griffin

Doris Scott Griffin, age 94, of Pittsboro, died Wednesday, February 14, 2024, at Heritage Greens Assisted Living in Greensboro.

Doris(Dottie) loved her Lord and was His faithful servant.  Dottie had the sweetest spirit and led her life with kindness, reflecting Jesus’ love to everyone she met.   It is appropriate that Jesus called her home on Valentine’s Day because her life was an example of I Corinthians 13:4, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.”

She loved her church and enjoyed studying the Word with her Bible Study Group and conquered the tech world, including using zoom to attend church and fellowship with friends during COVID.  She was a faithful prayer warrior, praying for all her family and leaving a legacy of faith. 

Dottie was an avid reader and could often be found working on her word puzzles or searching for new recipes on her IPad. One of our favorite memories of Dottie are all the encouraging and valued words she wrote in the many cards she gave. 

We want to thank all those who cared for Dottie so well at Heritage Greens in Greensboro.

Doris was born in Chatham County on December 3, 1929, to the late Rufus Bradshaw Scott and Clara McLaughlin Scott. She was also preceded in death by her husband, Sammy Griffin, grandson Matt Coore, and three sisters, Evelyn Robinson, Merrill Jordan, and Geraldine White.

Surviving relatives include two sons, Ted Griffin and wife Patsy of High Point, Randy Griffin, and wife Karen of Pittsboro, five grandchildren, Nadine, Sarah, Olivia, Samuel, Heather, and ten great-grandchildren.

A graveside service will be held Monday, February 19, 2024, at 2:00PM at Pittsboro Baptist Church cemetery with Rev. Tripp Harmon presiding. The family will receive friends in the church fellowship hall immediately following the graveside service.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks for memorial contributions to be made in Doris’s memory to Pittsboro Baptist Church P.O. Box 696 Pittsboro, NC 27312, or Authora Care Hospice 2500 Summitt Ave. Greensboro, NC 27405.
