At the age of seven, she professed Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior, and was baptized by her father, who was then pastor of Pythian Avenue Baptist Church in Springfield. From that young age until June of this year when her health failed, she stayed very active in Baptist churches wherever she lived, always finding a place of service for her Lord.

Doris received her Associate of Arts degree from Southwest Baptist College in Bolivar, a Bachelor of Science degree from Southwest Missouri State University in Springfield, Missouri, and earned her Master of Education degree from the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas. Doris was always pleased and honored that she received a full scholarship to pursue her Masters degree at K.U. Doris enjoyed a lifetime teaching career. After only two years of college, she began teaching at Logan School in Greene County. There were forty pupils in eight grades and some of the boys were taller than their teacher. The next year, she taught at Kinser, also a one room school. In addition to teaching, her duties there included building a fire in the coal burning stove, and fixing lunch for the students. She continued her education during the summers. After that, she taught two years in Springfield. After moving to Lawrence, Kansas, with her husband, she spent three years in class rooms there and then served as elementary school principal for twenty seven years. Doris and Stan bought their first camper in 1966, discovered a love for travel and camping, and after that always had a motor home.
