During her career as a bookkeeper, she worked for Shamrock Drugs, Inc., JO Flowe Grading Co., Inc., and Beatty Motor Co., Inc., and Beatty Fruit Co., of Midland.

She was a member of Memorial Baptist Church for 32 years and was active in the choir, WMU, Rejoicing Upper Room, Sunday School Class, and Norwood Book Club where she served in many different capacities. She was a volunteer for Stanly Memorial Hospital in Albemarle, Hospice of Stanly County, Meals on Wheels, and enjoyed helping others. In 2003, Doris moved back to Midland to be close to her children. She rejoined First Baptist Church of Locust and was active in Ladies #2 Sunday School Class and the choir.
Doris will be greatly missed by her many friends and family. She was a woman of strong faith, who instilled Christian values in her children and put God and her family first.
The family wishes to express their heartfelt appreciation to Mom's "Angels" on earth, Becky Flowe and Kay Efird both of Midland, Willie Curlee and Janet Teeter both of Locust, and the Hospice Team of Charlotte, Anetria, Gayle, Glaucia, and Dr. Victoria Lampkin who supported the family and cared for Mom during her illness.
