Mrs. Doris Spradling Looney, a resident of Lewisburg, Tennessee, peacefully departed this life on December 9, 2024, at Village Manor. She was born on May 1, 1924, to the late Eugene and Edna Becker Spradling.
Doris led a distinguished career with the Department of Defense, maintaining a top security clearance for over 45 years, a testament to her dedication and integrity. In her early years, she shared a joyful life with her first husband, Lee Junger, a pilot for Trans World Airlines, during which time they engaged in Shiner’s charitable activities to support children. Following Lee’s passing, Doris reconnected with Quentin Looney, a major in the army, and later married. They were married 11 years and made their home in Lewisburg. When he passed, his legacy was honored with burial at Arlington Cemetery in Washington, D.C., with full military honors.
A devoted member of the historic First Presbyterian Church of Lewisburg, Doris nurtured her community spirit through various volunteer efforts, including her time at local hospitals and senior living facilities. She was an enthusiastic member of the Country Club during her younger years and always took great pleasure in shopping.
Mrs. Looney is survived by her niece, Janice Risinger and her two great-nieces, Melanie Harkey and Kristin Risinger. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husbands, a niece, Karen Spradling and nephew-in-law, Kevin.
