Dorothy Doss Jarrett

Dorothy Jarrett, 67, of Bartlesville, left this earth Thursday for her forever home. Dorothy was born the daughter of Fred and Epsy (Rogers) Doss on January 2, 1950, in Hobart, southwest Oklahoma. She loved her school years and the wonderful friendships she made graduating from Hobart High in 1967. Dorothy moved to Amarillo, TX, to pursue higher education. She soon met the love of her life Benny Ray Jarrett and they were united in marriage in 1972 in Borger, TX. They made their home in Borger and both started their careers with Phillips Petroleum Company, moving back and forth between Bartlesville and Borger. During this time she joined a group of ladies working at Phillips known as the Ya-Ya Sisters, and many holidays and birthdays were spent together. Her ability as a social butterfly was unparalleled and she made wonderful friends throughout her life. In 2015 she retired from Phillips 66 after 40-plus years. Dorothy loved the Lord and wasn’t shy to share the good news. She was a member of Greater First Baptist and enjoyed the nursery ministry. Even though she faced her own health issues she was quick to pray for those around her facing difficulties. Benny and Dorothy loved to spend time hosting family get-togethers with plenty of food, fun and fellowship. They watched old westerns together, and she loved college football and basketball. But most of all Dorothy loved to smile and she was a blessing to be around – her beautiful smile and heart will be dearly missed by her family, Ya-Ya sisters and friends. Dorothy is survived by her husband Benny Ray of the home; four children, Lisa Neal of Fullerton, CA, Misty Jarrett of Tulsa, Brian Jarrett of Tulsa, and Daryl Jarrett of Oklahoma City; one brother Freddie Doss of Ardmore; six grandchildren, Sierra Neal, M’leigha Jarrett, Sean Neal, Kendric Jarrett, Lyric Jarrett, Aria Jarrett; one great grandchild Ameerie Jarrett; and numerous in-laws, cousins, nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents, one brother Harold Doss, and two sisters Geneva Hicks and Dimple Williams. Visitation will be held on Sunday from 3-5 and Monday 10-8. Dorothy’s family will receive friends at the Davis Family Funeral Home, 918-534-3030, 113 S. Osage (Hwy. 75), Dewey, on Monday, February 27, from 6-8 p.m. Funeral services will be held 10 a.m. on Tuesday, February 28, at the Davis Family Funeral Home Chapel.
