Being born in Big Stone Gap, Virginia, her family moved to Dade City, Florida when she was twelve and that is where she eventually met and married Calvin.

She enjoyed being outdoors, working in the yard and flower garden. Doris especially loved to travel at vacation time with her family. What meant most to her was time spent with family.
