Doris Power of Kingman, Arizona, passed away peacefully at home on November 18, 2025, surrounded by her family, at the age of 90. She was born in Prescott on January 12, 1935, to Nancy D.

She volunteered with KCCU for forty-five years. She also volunteered with the Mohave County Department of Public Health for many years. She was also a member of the Mohave Museum of History and Arts. Doris truly believed in being kind and respectful to everyone.
