We had the utmost privilege of meeting Doris at NHMS numerous years ago. One of my fondest memories is when she gave my mother her first (and only) ticket to the NASCAR race. My mother will never forget that! The memory of pure delight Doris showed over that peanut butter and jelly sandwich that I made her last year will always sit lovingly in my heart! We love and miss you Doris...May you Rest In Peace...❤

I had the extreme privilege of meeting Doris at NHMS Back when it was NHIS. She was such a caring loving person. She walked in the room and it was like sunshine. She was a friend and she will be missed. She is putting the pedal to the medal, no doubt. May the angels guide her race. Love you Doris.
