Doris was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She enjoyed staying home with her children and baking after school treats for them when they came home each day. Doris also worked out of her home as a seamstress.
After the children were out of school she started volunteering as a tour guide for Petite Paris Museum in St. Martinville. Doris was a faithful member of both St. Martin de Tours and St. Rita Catholic Church. She will be remembered for her love of baking, canning preserves, her passion for home-ec, and how she always had a slice of cake and coffee for anyone who walked in the house.
