Doris comes to Kirby Pines
from her previous home in
Germantown. She and her hus-
band, Donald, were married
59 years prior to his passing in
2011.
When asked about hobbies/
interests/entertainment, Doris
pointed out that she and her
husband were the sole support
for both sets of parents. It was
a full-time commitment, glad-
ly shouldered; but left no time
for pursuit of “down time”
hobbies and/or interests. Their
situation is a familiar one to
many of us here, as well.
Donald owned and operated
a Dealer Transport Company,
delivering new cars to dealer-
ships. For 39 years, Doris was
employed by American Bell,
South Central Bell, and Bell
South Telephone Companies
(now AT&T). She held several
management positions, doing
everything from installation of
new residence services to writ-
ing “how to” instruction manu-
als. Doris served several years
as President of Telephone Pio-
neers Association.
She has traveled to every State
in the U.S. as well as to Mexi-
co. Her musical preference is
County music.
Welcome to our retirement
community, Doris. You will
make new friends; and we
hope you explore all the won-
derful opportunities here.
