Doris graduated from Baldwin Wallace University in Ohio and was a teacher. A mother of four boys, she earned a "doctorate" in parenting. She was dearly devoted to her children, grandchildren and great-grandchild. She cherished the time she got to spent with them. She was a model of selflessness, generosity, and humility for everyone. She welcomed many kids into her home and was a mother to the whole neighborhood.

She loved learning about new cultures, exploring new food, was an avid gardener and loved cooking. She enjoyed playing bridge and pinochle. She was a member of the Landisville Church of God.

She will be remembered for her unyielding generosity, kindness, and her famous colloquialisms.
