Doris married Lyle Raymond Todd on May 28, 1950. Lyle and Doris rented farms in many places over the years. To this marriage, three children were born: Albert Raymond Todd, Roger Dean Todd and Lois (Todd) Ibbotson.
Doris started working at Sunny Slope Nursing Home as a nurse’s aide around 1970. She continued working at the Mount Ayr Health Care Center when the new nursing home was built. Doris worked at Clearview Home and at the Ringgold County Hospital in the kitchen until a brain aneurysm slowed her down. Doris also cleaned houses and helped care for the elderly in their homes.
