She was the daughter of Mrs. Lucille Bentley and the late Charlie Bentley. Doris graduated from Central High School and was a member of Mt. Aery Baptist Church. Doris had a strong work ethic and believed in taking care of family and friends. She worked for Sikorsky Technologies where she retired from 28 years of service.

Her friends gave her a nickname “Boss Lady” which was very fitting for her!
