In addition to being a busy homemaker, Doris worked at Universal Manufacturing Co. and American Chain and Cable in Fairfield, and the Army Ammunitions Plant in West Burlington. Doris was a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Fairfield and her life was built around her faith in God. Doris was always ready for a card game of pitch or putting together a jigsaw puzzle.

Doris was preceded in death by her husband; one grandson, Kevin Mineart; and six brothers, Robert Worley, Verle Worley, Lester Worley, Raeford Worley, Kenneth Worley and Jim Worley. She is survived by her eight children, 13 grandchildren, and numerous great-grandchildren.
