Doris retired from ATT after 30 years as a Long-Distance Operator. After retirement, she became actively involved in Yarborough Street Baptist Church where she kept the nursery for many years and everyone knew her as Granny. In addition, she was on committees to help with special events (e.g. Weddings, Showers, etc.).

Aside from work and church “Granny” was an accomplished baker with her cakes becoming her signature dish. At one point in her retirement, she would cook dozens of cakes and treats over the holidays as gifts for her friends and family. Granny was loved by all.
