Doris A. Hastings, lovingly known as Mom, Grandma and MawMaw, passed away peacefully at the age of 89 on July 19, 2025, at her home in Boerne, Texas, surrounded by the love and comfort of her family.
Born on Sept. 20, 1935, in Atascosa County, Texas, Doris was the cherished daughter of the late Hugh and Frances McKenzie. On Nov. 12, 1961, she married Clinton Hastings, in San Antonio, Texas. Together, they built a life grounded in love, devotion and family. Their marriage spanned nearly 47 years until Clinton’s passing.
Doris retired from Southwestern Bell after a long and dedicated career. Those who knew Doris will remember her for her deep devotion to her family, her generous heart, and her unwavering faith.
They will also smile at the memory of her legendary stubbornness — a trait that showed up in her determination to do things her own way, stand firm in her beliefs, and fight for the people and causes she loved.
That same steadfast spirit carried her through life’s challenges with grit and grace.
She was preceded in death by her husband Clinton Hastings, her parents Hugh and Frances McKenzie, her sister Pat Wells, and her beloved granddaughter Katie Scarlet.
She is survived by her sons Jeff Hastings, Bruce Hastings, and Chris Hastings and wife Lisa; her sister Darlene White and husband Morris; grandchildren Valisa, Waylon and wife Brooke, Dakota and husband Conor, Ryleigh, and Lawson; great-granddaughter Jamesina; and numerous nieces and nephews who will continue to carry her memory forward.
Doris’ life was a testament to love, faith, family and the quiet strength of a woman who refused to give up, no matter what.
In accordance with her wishes, no formal services will be held. A private celebration of life will be held at a later date.
Doris will be remembered for her unwavering love for her family, her enduring strength, and the gentle wisdom she shared throughout her long and beautiful life.
