She grew up on Harrisville Road in Ogden where she was fortunate to have both sets of her grandparents living right by her.

Doris attended school in Ogden at Lincoln Elementary, Mount Fort Junior High and Ogden High school.  She danced at half time at football games and loved singing.  She had a beautiful voice.  Her mom played the piano for church choir.   Doris sang in the choir and when she was in Mutual they had road shows where each ward would have a play and they would go to each ward in the stake and perform.  During the 24 ^th of July days, there was a program put on in Odgen called "All Faces West", Mom and her best friend, Mona auditioned for it and they were picked to perform.  She was honored and did that for 2 years.

While at a choir practice, two young men came to church and one of them would end up being her husband.  She married Roland Taylor, the love of her life on April 17, 1953 in Logan, Utah at the LDS Temple, he was her everything.  They had 3 girls, Karolyn, Suzanne and Marilyn.

Doris was a homemaker and in 1960 they bought their first home in Declo, Idaho where they raised their girls and later moved to Rupert in 1965.  In 2007, after declining health issues, they moved to Rexburg, Idaho.  They resided there until they had to move into assisted living in June of 2020.

Mom loved her family, they were the most important thing in her life.  She loved to cook to for them.  She always looked forward to family gatherings.   Her favorite holidays were Thanksgiving and Christmas, because she knew that it would bring all her family together.  She had a great sense of humor.  She loved teaching her grandchildren how to bake.  Baking goodies for her neighbors, friends and family was her favorite thing to do.  Every year she spent days at making Christmas candy and sweet breads to share far and wide.  She was a master at making homemade cards on the computer and preferred them over store bought cards.  Everyone loved receiving them from her.
