Doris was devoted to her faith and an active member of the Dayton Vineyard Church where she assisted with many youth groups and food banks. She also joined the community in prayer with Revive Ohio. Doris left behind many church friends, including, Rick and Denis Eggers along with their children, Ellen, Joey and David. The most important thing to Doris was her family and living out her faith.
