Doris was such a classy lady and a joy to meet on a daily basis when I worked in the same unit with her at Houston County DFACS. Within the past year, we would meet each other at the nail shop and she was still a classy lady. Such a wonderful person and a fantastic smile. You will be missed "Miss Personality."
