of Conway, AR

January 31, 1935 - June 12, 2025

Doris Lundquist Yingling, of Conway, longed for the day she would meet Jesus at the gates of heaven and receive her new, perfect, and pain-free body. On June 12, 2025, at the age of 90, that day arrived. Doris passed away peacefully at Conway Regional Medical Center after a courageous and exemplary 3.5-year battle with breast and bone cancer.

Doris was dearly loved everywhere she went. She shared a special bond with the staff and fellow patients at the CARTI Cancer Center in Conway, who marveled at her remarkable ability to lift others' spirit even on her hardest days in the chemotherapy infusion room. A prolific crafter, she created countless crochet blankets and other handmade items, which she generously gifted to friends, family, and fellow cancer patients.

She was preceded in death by her father, Per Roland Lundquist; her birth mother, Elizabeth Carlson Lundquist; her stepmother, Viola Rosenbach Lundquist; her stepbrothers, Don and Richard Rosenbach; and her stepsister, Lois Rosenbach Andresson.

She is survived by her sister, Karen Lundquist Defenbaugh of Phenix City, AL; sister-in-law, Zella Rosenbach of Brigham City, UT; her son, Ross Yingling (Carol) of Conway; and her daughter, Beth Yingling of Snellville, GA. She also leaves behind her 4 grandchildren: Jason Yingling (Megan), Ashley Yingling, Paige Yingling, and Tristan Butler; and 5 great-grandchildren: Aiden Yingling, Harper Yingling, Luka Yingling, Kane Burton, and Raena Yingling.

Doris was born on January 31, 1935, in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. At the age of two, after the passing of her birth mother, she traveled with her father to his homeland of Sollentuna, Sweden, where they lived for four years.

She graduated from Harrison High School in 1953 and from the Baptist Nursing Program in Little Rock in 1956. As a Registered Nurse, she dedicated decades of her life to caring for others in hospitals, clinics, and with the Red Cross both on Blood Mobiles and in the Apheresis Unit throughout central Arkansas. She was also the owner of Yingling Picture Framing in Benton.

Doris was a faithful and much-loved member of Brumley Baptist Church in Conway, where she joyfully served for many years as the church's keyboard player. Her musical talents were a central part of her worship and devotion to Jesus Christ.

Doris deeply cherished her family and supported them in all they did. Known by many names - Doris, Inga, Mom, and Momma - but her favorite name was "Granny." Her happiest moments were spent with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, solving puzzles, cooking green eggs, and baking Swedish coffee bread.

A visitation will be held from 6:30 to 7:15 p.m. A Celebration of Life Service and Memorial will be held on Tuesday, July 1st at 7:15 p.m., at Brumley Baptist Church. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the CARTI Cancer Center Foundation at https://www.carti.com/foundation/ways-to-give/.
