Doris worked at the Macon Paper Company where she met James (Jim) Chaille, Jr., the son of the owner, James Chaille, Sr. She married Jim on December 16, 1951 in Macon, Georgia.
Jim worked as an engineer for Rohm & Haas Co. which took them to Huntsville, AL, Fayetteville, N.C., Teeside, England, Philadelphia, PA, and Houston, TX before Jim’s retirement. After retiring, they moved to Peachtree City, GA, so she could be back among the tall pines. They finally settled in Georgetown, TX to be close to family.
