She was born September 12, 1929, in rural West York, IL, the daughter of Harris and Zelpha (Clements) McCrory, both of whom preceded her in death. She married Ernest "Gene" Dolson on June 6, 1948, and he preceded her in death on April 14, 1997. She was also preceded in death by her son, Carl Lenn Dolson; by her sisters, Mary Crabtree, Velda Griffith, and Myrtle Beabout; and by her brothers, Noble McCrory, Robert McCrory, Chauncy McCrory, and Jim McCrory.
She is survived by her sons: Steve and Anita Dolson (West Union), David and Bonnie Dolson (Beaver Creek, OH), Mark and Cathy Dolson (Morro Bay, CA), and daughter-in-law, Marsha Dolson (Indianapolis, IN); by her grandchildren and their spouses: Jennifer and Will Ferguson, Evan and Rebekah Dolson, Matthew Dolson, Mike Dolson, Megan and Jordan Moir, Alex Dolson, Chris and Nicole Dolson, and Stacy Dolson; and 11 great grandchildren as well as many nieces and nephews.
When she wasn't raising her family, she worked as a teller / bookkeeper / secretary for 1st National Bank in Robinson, Moore Farm Buildings in Charleston, IL, City of Charleston, IL, and Larson, Woodyard, and Henson CPA's. She spent hours cooking and baking (especially cookies) and was a dedicated quilter.

Doris was a kind lady. She was a neighbor on Circle Drive in Charleston and replaced me when I left Moore Farm Building to be a stay-at-home mom. I enjoyed working with her during the transition period. My sympathies to her family.
