In her early years, she worked for Miles Kimball, Harmon’s Insurance Agency, Leon’s Custard and the City Directory (R. L. Polk). Doris enjoyed travel. In Doris’s younger years she went on travel adventures with her sister’s, cross country to be with family and friends, work trips with her husband, the family fun trips, and trips with the kids and grandkids.
Doris was widely known for all of her volunteering she had done throughout the community. She volunteered at the Oshkosh Public Museum, The Grand Opera House, the Paine Art Center and Gardens, EAA, community voting polls and at church where she helped out in the kitchen and taught Sunday School.

She donated blood for years and it is rumored she donated nearly five gallons! She enjoyed gardening and adored dogs. She often donated to the Oshkosh Area Humane Society and was a large supporter of pet adoption. She hosted French foreign exchange students, some of whom she had kept in contact with throughout the years. She loved her family more than anything.
