Not sure what to say?

I grew up spending afternoons and weekends in the Spencer house as a teenager. I knew Doris to give unbiased, insightful advice on a variety of topics and loved having her to lean on. She was a mother I looked to when I needed one who didn´t judge, but did tell unvarnished truths. I loved her voice and her laugh and have missed it. Love to Patty and Charles.

Doris was a titan here in Southern Maryland and across the State. I lovingly called her "Queen Bee" because she had the "Juice" and was a leader's leader. Her determination was second to none and it provided a role model for others to get off their tails to follow. We're going to miss you Queen Bee, but rest easy because we have the baton and wont let it drop.

Doris was our founder, President, and Chairwoman. Through her grit and determination, our organization has come to be recognized all over the state. From dealing with small businesses, local economic development offices, or testifying on varying business issues in Annapolis, Doris led the way. Our organization will miss her but her dedication and committment to Minority Small Business empowers us all to move ever forward.
