Their marriage lasted 42 years and during that time they lived in Tama shortly and then made their home in Grinnell. Doris was a stay-at home mom and did in-home daycare for many years. She loved to work in her flower garden, crochet, knit, and collect elephants. She also liked to camp, fish, play cards and Bingo, and do puzzles. Doris loved spending time with her family and was affectionately known in her apartment complex as “Queen Bee”.
