Doris and Buster lived in Lubbock, Morton, Walnut Springs and then they bought their farm in Hamilton County, near Cranfills Gap in 1958. They raised their three children there. Doris worked on the farm for many years and worked in the dietary department of Goodall Witcher Hospital, and she and Buster owned Stevens Motor Implement and RV in Clifton.

Doris was a member of First Baptist Church in Cranfills Gap and was the music director there for many years. Doris was a member of the Ladies Senior Golf Association and enjoyed the monthly luncheons with the golfing ladies from Clifton. She was an avid golfer and had a few hole-in-ones to brag about. There was a group of RV owners that would travel all around to play at a different golf course every day.
