Doris had many interests that she enjoyed greatly. She square danced with Cecil, loving the fancy dresses she got to wear. Bowled in a local league from the time her children were little. She also played golf and participated in scrambles at Perry Golf and Country Club. She was known for her flower gardens and being a great pie connoisseur. During all her travels Doris would sample pies at every stop all across the country. She didn't have a favorite flavor, if it was a pie it was a favorite. She also had a great love for birds. She enjoyed birds so much her husband added an aviary to her home. She tended to too many birds to count, having some of every variety. When she wasn't bowling, golfing or gardening Doris enjoyed doing word search puzzles.
