Doris Powell Lockridge

Doris P. Lockridge, age 72, entered her Heavenly home surrounded by loved ones on February 7, 2026. She was born on June 21, 1953, to Winford and Virginia Powell. On August 21, 1972, she married the love of her life, Johnnie W. Lockridge, and together they made their home in Randolph, Virginia.

Doris was a graduate of Halifax County High School. She was a dedicated employee of Tultex Textiles for many years before later opening Doris’s Clip & Curls in Keysville, which she owned and operated until her retirement. Doris truly cherished time spent with her family, especially her grandchildren. There was no doubt about the deep love she had for them, nor about her passion for cooking for those she loved.

She is survived by her husband of 53 years, Johnnie W. Lockridge; her son, Bryant Keith Lockridge and wife Christy; her stepdaughter, Beverley L. Tate and husband David; five grandchildren, Austin, Dalton and wife Kaley, Mary-Madison Lockridge, Allen Wayne Tate, and AnneMarie Tate; and five siblings, Carlton Powell, David Powell, Mike Powell, Betty Heath, and Sandra Stone.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Winford and Virginia Powell, and her grandson, Daniel Wayne Tate.
