Mrs. Douglas, known to all as “Boog,” passed away on March 7, 2010 in McKinney. She was born November 12, 1909 in the Forest Grove Community in Collin County. A descendant of the pioneer Kerby and Coffee families, her parents were Merrill P. and Mamie Pool Kerby. She was preceded in death by her husband, Chester L. Douglas; and her two sisters and their husbands, Marie Moore and Horace E. Moore, Sr. and Elizabeth Anne Taylor and John R. Taylor, Jr. She is survived by two nieces and their husbands, Beth Taylor Lloyd and Harold Lloyd of Houston and Jane Taylor Press and James Press of Carmine, and by her nephew, Horace E. Moore, Jr. and his wife Doris Moore of McKinney. Her surviving cousins are Violet Joyce Crouch Beaty and Mary Ann Kerby Miller, both of McKinney, and Betty Lou Crouch Hall of Richardson. Boog had a long and active career. She was chief cashier for Lone Star Gas Company for twenty-seven years. She served as City Secretary of the City of McKinney for six years and was employed by the County Clerk of Collin County and Wysong Clinic. Boog and Chester made many trips to the Rio Grande Valley to buy cotton for J. D. Bass and Sons, Cotton Brokers. They were regulars at the Trade Days at Canton, Texas where they loved to deal in collectables. In the 1970s Boog became well known as a dealer nationwide in collectable dolls, especially Madame Alexander dolls. The Dallas Morning News ran a story about her extensive doll business and dubbed her “The Doll Lady.” She was interviewed by papers and magazines many times because of her extensive knowledge of the history and development of Collin County. When she became a client of Meals on Wheels, she greatly appreciated the people who worked so hard providing meals to seniors. She was featured in several stories promoting the program and her picture and how much she loved the program was included in the Christmas card of Ross Perot's company, which was a sponsor of Meals on Wheels. Boog was a member of the Business and Professional Womens Club and the Daughters of the American Revolution, John Abston Chapter of McKinney. She was a devoted member of the First United Methodist Church of McKinney. A celebration of Boog's 100th birthday was attended by many friends and relatives. She received a letter from the White House in which President and Mrs. Obama sent their best wishes and noted that Boog had witnessed great milestones in our Nation's history and that her life represented an important piece of the American story.
