As a little girl, she helped her mom, dad, and brother on the farm everyday. Her parents operated a Brooder house selling eggs to local businesses. Doris would gather and wash eggs everyday. Her mother gave her an Elna sewing machine at the age of 12 years. She began to learn how to sew. Her dad gifted her a pair of hair clippers which started a lifelong hobby of cutting hair for friends and family of the community. Doris met the love of her life, George, on a blind date. They married on November 7, 1956 at St. Ambrose church in Wall. Their reception was the first in the St. Ambrose brick hall. Dad and mom began their life together. Dad farmed and played in a band while mom worked as a telephone operator in Garden City, Texas. They later moved to Veribest, farming 60 acres. In 1960, they built a three-bedroom home for $5,000. Doris and George enjoyed the hunting and fishing bunch. They also had a domino group for 30 years! She looked forward to dancing many times at weddings and numerous events.
