Doris dedicated her life to serving others as she worked at numerous nursing homes for over 40 years: Bluebonnet, Will O’Bell, River Haven, and Granger Villa. She actually ended up working at the same nursing home that she began her career with in Granger.

When she wasn’t working, she loved spending time with her children and grandchildren whom she loved with all her heart!
