In 1950, she met Lou de Vera Dayog, at a church social. With existing discrimination of the times, Doris and Lou sought a friendlier, more accepting environment.

Lou was attending the University of Portland and would follow her after finishing the semester. They married on May 23, 1953. They had seven children, Lovina, Reynald ("Rey"), Theresa, Barbara, David, Gregory ("Greg"), Sheila. Raising children across the generations, Doris made the transition from the traditional mom of the 1950s to a soccer mom of the 90s. Doris enjoyed reading since she was very young, teaching herself to read, with her first word being “coffee”. She played the piano and loved listening to classical music. She enjoyed being outdoors, observing nature, and enjoying the sun. She was often at the duck pond, zooming around in her power chair, with a customized license plate “CROC LADY”. Yes, she loved her Croc shoes, with matching colors for every outfit. She was a big sports fan and enjoyed both the winter and summer Olympics, ice hockey, and especially soccer. Her favorite teams were the U.S. Women’s National Team and the Portland Thorns. She would plan her dining room meals around their game schedules.
