Doris was an avid knitter, working on a variety of handmade goods for her family. She was known for her sometimes-colorful expressions, baking pies and took pride in her sauerbraten dinners. She loved baseball, adopting the Rays as her team. Family was everything to her. She was proud of her three children and seven grandchildren, having enjoyed watching them all successfully grow into adulthood.

Survivors include her three children and their spouses, Linda Ver Steeg (Harlan) of Orange City; William Beaton (Cindy), of Greenville, New York; and Carol Lenhardt (Chris) of Raleigh, North Carolina; and seven grandchildren, Tim Allen (Julie), Daniel Ver Steeg (Erika), Suzanne Beaton, Erika Beaton, William Beaton, Claudia Meyer, and Julia Meyer.
