Doris was born in Delaware Hospital to George and Edna Walton and spent most of her life living in northern New Jersey and Delaware, and briefly in North Carolina and Florida.

Following retirement, Doris was also a tireless volunteer of her time and energy, and taught English as a second language believing that for her students, literacy is essential to dignity and quality of life.
