She had two younger brothers, Erle and Dale. They lived in Keith County for seven years and Doris attended school in their home and her parents boarded the teacher. The family returned to Arthur County where they raised cattle, hogs, chickens, turkeys, corn, and alfalfa.

Doris worked for room and board for several families and then graduated from Arthur County High School. She took Normal Training during high school and earned a teaching certificate. She attended Chadron State Teachers College for two summers and then taught the Haney and McKeag country schools for six years before her marriage.
