“Doxey girls”
As always, it was a pleasure to see the “Doxey Girls” (as my mother’s generation calls them) last weekend, Helen Doxey Tyson of Nashville, Tn., and Frances Doxey Winter of Monroe, La.. They were joined by Peggy Crowe Marshall of Olive Branch, Jackie Jones Scott and Teri Lyons, both of Eugene, Ore., for the annual Holly Springs Pilgrimage. Pictured above, from left: Sarah Doxey Greer, Peggy Crowe Marshall, Jackie Jones Scott, Teri Lyons and Helen Doxey. The photograph was taken while the girls were touring Montrose over the weekend.

Weekend guests in the home of Susan and Jimmy Warren were Alexis and Clay Williams of Ocean Springs. During their visit, Alexis was the guest speaker for a journalism class at Ole Miss. Also, visiting with the Warrens were Mindy and Jimmy Maxwell of Oxford.

Mr. and Mrs. Art Collins of Atlanta, Ga., were visiting in Holly Springs over the past weekend. While here, they enjoyed the pilgrimage tour put on by the Holly Springs Garden Club.

Billy and Tammy Cupp dined on scrumptious hamburgers in the home of Christopher and Jenny Cupp and daughter, Emma Grace, in Olive Branch., last weekend. They visited with Trey Langus, son of Rita Cochran Langus, of New Orleans, La., who was in town on business.

Rollie Carson and daughter, Anne Kieffer, Anne Catherine Demeer and Leigh Hurdle Morris and daughters, Aubrey and Lauren, all of Memphis, served in the home of Bea and Jimmye Dale Green, Wathall-Freeman, throughout pilgrimage weekend. The girls were joined by their Holly Springs friends, enjoyed carriage rides and touring the homes.
