Doris found a calling when she started work in a beauty shop to help pay for college. Hairdressing was to be part of her life for a long time. Doris married Ralph in 1940. Their son Bob was born in 1941, and son Terry in 1948. Doris and Ralph were together for 47 wonderful years.She loved to play the piano!
