After her husband’s death, Doris was known for walking just about
everywhere she went. She would pass up rides offered to her and just
seemed to thrive on walking...to work, to town, and wherever she
wanted to go.

She leaves to cherish her memories, her sister Edna M. Mason and her
extended family, Leroy and Pattie Brown and their daughter, Cheryl
Brown and her children Kyle and Max, all of Durham, North Carolina,
several cousins and her beloved Union Springs Community and friends.
