It all started with a strong purpose-driven woman, Doris Westbrook. Doris was born to E.E. and Minnie Lee (Howie) Howington on September 16, 1920. In the early 60"s, she and her family relocated to Roswell from the Buckhead area to property that is now the site of the new Crabapple Middle School. Her two sons, Richard and David, attended Roswell schools. Doris attended Georgia State College for Women and Georgia State University, earning degrees at both. She worked for Eastern Airlines, and later worked for Dekalb College (Perimeter College) in their financial aid department. She credits her life experiences with being able to counsel and assist students. Roswell United Methodist Church has been the center of Doris' life since moving to Roswell. She was active on the Board of Stewards, Board of Trustees, teaching Sunday School, Seniors Enriched Living and any opportunity to volunteer. She has been an active volunteer at North Fulton Community Charities, the Drake House, and AARP, where she assisted in the Tax Aide Program and taught the safe driving course for seniors. An avid supporter of Georgia Tech, Saturdays found her cheering the Jackets from the stands. Her volunteer efforts for the Roswell Lions Club were many. She has served as secretary, worked in the Christmas tree sales and always sold apples for their fund raising.
