Doris had a great sense of humor. She like to visit, laugh, and mostly tease everyone. Anytime spent with Doris was always a good time. She enjoyed playing cards and dancing. If someone was too tired to dance, she would grab someone else and keep going. Cooking was something she did especially well. If someone were hungry Doris would fill them up with her soups, bread and her baking. She made sure everyone was full.
