Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were her absolute joy.

Doris managed a loan office on East Sixth Street in Austin for many years after the death of her husband. She loved to travel, shop, read, play bingo and poker. She was always up for an adventure. She was an amazing cook who enjoyed making meals for her family and friends, making her home welcoming to all. She had a larger than life personality and will be missed greatly.
