Doris Maxwell West lived most of her live in Alabama but was well known in Gainsville, GA as the daughter of Gene Davis Maxwell and Callie Fornie Smith Maxwell. There is a building at Young Harris College named after her brother, Alva Gustin Maxwell, and his wife Edna Stephens Maxwell. Alva was a well known vice-president of Citizens and Southern Bank.
She married Rev. John Pierce West, Sr. and served with him until she died at age 40 of sleeping sickness when her youngest child was not quite two years old. Her children were Charles Maxwell West, Doris Eugenia West, Mary Virginia West, Francis Mozelle West, Rachel Bonner West, and Rev. John Pierce "Pete" West, Jr.
After she died, her husband Pierce West got help with the kids for a couple of years until he remarried. As he lived more years with his second wife Willie, he chose to be buried with her. Doris Maxwell West is buried in the same cemetery in a different location.
