Graveside services for Ms. Kay Doss, age 73 of Dubach, LA will be held at 11:00 AM, Monday, December 1, 2025 in Hamilton Cemetery with Rev. Marvin Winham officiating, under the direction of Owens Memorial Chapel Funeral Home of Ruston, LA.
Kay was born May 22, 1952 in Bernice, LA to Sylvia and Archie Doss and passed away Sunday, November 23, 2025 in Jackson, MS. She graduated from Dubach High School in 1970, while working at her father’s store, Doss Grocery. In 1974, Kay graduated Louisiana Tech University, where she was a member of the Brock and Bridle Club, earning her degree in English.
After graduation she taught school for one year. Kay then started her career in banking, where she worked at various banks: First National Bank, Louisiana Bank, Community Trust Bank, and Gibsland State Bank. She held various positions through out her career, from bank teller, loan officer, to branch manager, where she met a multitude of life long friends. Kay never met a stranger and always knew how each person was related to the next.
Kay enjoyed playdays and barrel racing competition from childhood into her early forty’s, taking “Girls” trips, nights out on the town, movie days with her beloved girlfriends, and being around her family. She was an active member of First Baptist Church Dubach before moving to New Prospect Baptist Church.
In 2019, Kay retired from Gibsland State Bank to start a new job, becoming a grandmother called “Honey”. Once her granddaughter arrived, she still enjoyed the trips, the movies, friends, and family, but ultimately her world revolved around Harleigh Kay. If Harleigh was with “Honey” they were out shopping, getting something to eat, or playing in a park somewhere.
Kay was preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by her son, Justin Landrum and wife Chelsey of Dubach, LA; granddaughter, Harleigh Kay Landrum of Dubach, LA; sisters, Linda Gail Foxx of Ft. Worth, TX and Sheila Doss Roden of Clinton, MS; brothers, Burns Doss and wife Camille of Shreveport, LA, Chuck Doss of Dubach, LA, and Lane Doss and wife Mary Elise of Monroe, LA; sister-in-law, Rosie Colvin of Dubach, LA; numerous nieces and nephews, and a host of other family and friends.
Serving as pallbearers will be TJ Johnston, Marshall Doss, Kerry Gaskin, Rex Hobbs, Ben Thomas, and Blake Carter.
The family would like to express our thanks for the exceptional care received at St. Dominics Hospital in Jackson, MS.
Visitation will be from 9:00 AM until 10:45 AM, Monday, December 1, 2025 at New Prospect Baptist Church in Dubach.
