She attended school until she reached the 8th grade, and like so many others during that time, she had to quit school to work to help provide and take care of her family. This always weighed heavy on her heart and when she was in her late sixties, she took the necessary steps to earn her G.E.D.

Over the years Doris worked a couple different jobs. She worked for several years at Spartans, after which, she spent some time working in home health care. Her main job and duty was taking care of and raising her family. Doris loved to cook big family meals, where she could enjoy her children and grandchildren. When her grandchildren were in their younger years she spent many days taking care of them. This was one of her greatest joys in life.
