Doris was born on July 5, 1932, and was adopted by Glenn and Helen (Klump) Fattig as a baby.

Doris accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior as a young girl at a tent revival near Stapleton. She lived a moral Christian life. She was united in marriage to Wayne E. Tiffany on Aug. 27, 1950, at her parents' home east of Ringgold. They made their first home in Sherman County, where Wayne's parents lived at that time. To this union, six children were born: Steven Wayne, Russell Kent, Mark Craig, Rhonda Elaine, Bonnie Sue and Vickie Ray. In 1960, they moved back to the Stapleton area, where Wayne was employed by the Richard Wells Ranch for many years. They belonged to the Stapleton Presbyterian Church. Doris was the Sunday School Treasurer for several years and belonged to the Lifeboat Mariners Club. After leaving the Wells Ranch, they lived in Thedford for twenty years. Doris was the treasurer of the Women's Fellowship at the UCC Church in Thedford. They purchased Wayne's mother, Zina Tiffany's, house in Gandy, where they lived until they moved to Burwell to be near their son, Russell, and his wife, Marcia. Doris was a lover of all animals, especially cats. She was always adopting strays that needed a home. Doris was a devoted wife, mother and caretaker for her family.
