As a child, Doris spent summers on her uncle’s farm in Causapscal, Quebec. She married Paul R.

Through the years, Doris was a homemaker and worked at numerous jobs, including grocery and department store clerk, photographer, apple harvests, sewing and alteration work, stitcher at the Norwock/Bass shoe shop, and school bus driver for both the Riverview Memorial School in Norridgewock and the Jay School Department, retiring in 1992. Doris had many interests and talents. She loved sports and outdoor activities, meeting her husband at the Bear Pond roller skating rink in North Turner. Throughout their lives, they enjoyed smelting, fishing, hunting, swimming, boating, water skiing, snowmobiling, bowling, and gardening. She was a championship bowler in several women’s leagues.
