Dori Ann Talley

Dori Ann Talley passed away at her Tulsa residence Tuesday, August 12, 2014. Dori was born May 6, 1940 in Boonville, Arkansas to Guy and Jessie Davis. Dori grew up in California and Oregon. She attended Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. She pursued a career in cosmetology and was known by many to be a master hairstylist. She owned the Talley Barber Shop in Mexia, Texas and she was a partner in the salon Cut Above in Little Rock, Arkansas. Dori was unmistakably a class act. She always served her clients well and always maintained a special ability to create beauty.

Dori was preceded in death by her parents; her two children John Robertson and Cindy Smith; and her siblings Sue Choate, Bobby Davis, Grace Dowdy, and Billy Davis. She is survived by her husband Miller Talley; stepdaughter Tracy Schneider, son Phillip Talley; and her siblings Linda Burkhead, Peggy Nelson, James Davis, and Dale Davis.
