Doris W. Sandridge, 83, of Waynesboro, VA passed away on Monday, August 5, 2024. Born July 30, 1941, she was the daughter of James Irvin and Ruth Wood of Ivy, Va.

Doris attended Albemarle High School where she was a cheerleader. There she met Myrle, who was on the football team. They graduated in 1958, and later married spending 50 years together. Doris worked at Greenbrier Elementary and Walker Middle School before retiring from Charlottesville City Schools after 31 years.
