She was smart, funny, witty and didn't hold anything back. She had many close friends, especially her lifelong friend Lynn. Doris enjoyed life to the fullest along with her travels abroad to New Zealand. Doris also loved staying at her trailer in the Oasis campground in Birds Hill which she enjoyed for many years. She worked many years selling real estate and later settling into sales. Doris struggled through health issues but she always found time for her friends and family. She was always a phone call away.
