Doris Lee Moorehead

Doris (Kirk) Moorehead, 87, of Rantoul, Il, passed into her eternal resting place on January 26, 2024.

Doris was born to the late Joseph "Abe" Baisden and Ida Mae Fry Baisden at Lundale, WV on February 18, 1936.

She was the loving and caring wife of the late John Mason Kirk and Arnold Moorehead where they made their homes in Beckley, WV.

She grew up in a large loving family and is preceded in death by 7 sisters and 2 brothers, Edith Tackett, Ethel Moore, Ruth Grubb, Harold Baisden, Mary Rose Crawford, Jean Keith, Joyce Hager, Larry Baisden, Linda Sue Farley and her little dog companion, Prissy.

Her loving mom and dad instilled the meaning of religious faith not only in her but all their children. From a very young age her faith in Christ would bloom and continue to flourish until she saw her Savior face to face.  She was a member of White Oak Missionary Baptist Church for many years before making the move to Rantoul, IL in order to be close to her daughter.

Doris was very kind and loving from an early age.  She loved the role she played in helping take care of her baby brothers and sisters. She was a kind and loving mother who worked hard to make sure her children were taken care of.  Those who are left to cherish her memories take comfort in knowing that Doris is with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Survivors include her brother Bill Baisden (Patricia) of Sebring, FL, daughter Ronda Kirk and significant other Dennis Farley of Rantoul, IL, and son Johnnie Kirk (Donna) of Battleboro, NC.  One granddaughter Tracy Fulk (Joey) of King, NC, grandsons Jon Cramer (Amanda) of Riverview, FL, Jeremy Phillips (Nicole) of Clarksville, TN, Joseph and Jason Orga (Cynthia) of New London CT.  Several great grandchildren, Aaron Fulk (Rachael), Josh Fulk, Aiden and Kaia Cramer, Melody Phillips, Madison Phillips, Jeremy Phillips, Mackenzie Phillips, and Nicolas Phillips, Emily, Quenton, Jada, and Andrew Orga.

Doris will be missed by a host of nieces, nephews and many wonderful friends.  Conducting services will be Rick Robertson at the Rose & Quesenberry Funeral Home, 1901 S.
