I talk to Doristine Watkins Minott every day.  The public knows her as “Tina Minott.” In our family, we call her “Teannie.” She is two years older than me. She is also my youngest sister. We are extremely close.  This article is my tribute to her.

Doris Lorraine Garraway, age 53, died from pancreatic cancer on October. 4, 2025. Doris’ death devastated the close-knit Watkins family.  We are still grieving.  Doris is gone now, but she will never be forgotten.
