I was very blessed to work with Doris at WSPD and develop a treasured friendship. Doris and I shared numerous times talking about our grandchildren. Doris absolutely adored her grandsons. My prayers are with the family.

Miss Doris gave me my first real job when I was straight out of college with no experience and no clue. I'm forever grateful to her because without her I would not be where I am now. She was a wonderful lady with a kind spirit and I'm blessed to have known her.

I remember working with Doris at WSPD Communications. She was a very caring person. When she walked into the center, she made her way around and spoke to everyone. She touched more lives than she ever knew!
