She was welcomed into Jesus' arms on Friday, October 27th, 2017, surrounded by her loved ones. Doris was raised in Butler, where she also attended school. On December 29th, 1951, she married the love of her life, Roy Lee Shepherd in Butler, Oklahoma.

After 53 years on the farm, they moved to Clinton. Doris was a faithful and active member of the First Christian Church in Clinton, where she belonged to the Christian Women's Fellowship. She loved music, playing the piano and spent many Saturday nights at the Country Jamboree with Roy. Some of her interests included quilting, crocheting and embroidery.
