She was an awesome grandmother. She loved baking with her grandchildren, spending time with them and their friends, and loved going to school programs, sporting events especially the Shreveport Mudbugs hockey games, and college graduations.
Doris was a registered nurse and dedicated twenty years working the Intensive Care Unit at Highland Hospital. She loved her job. She was also a philanthropist and made monthly donations to many charities.
