Doris retired after a 26 year long career at the University of South Carolina in 1993. She loved to spend time on Lake Murray with family and friends. She was known for her delicious cooking and entertaining. Doris had an eye for interior design and enjoyed decorating her home to welcome those who visited.

She will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved her. 

Special thanks to Jennifer Jackson for her help and providing loving care and comfort to our mom in her final years.
