She attended country schools there and in Paynesville, Royalton High School and graduated from Paynesville High School in 1945. Four of her school years were spent living with her blind grandmother to help with household chores. Immediately following graduation she joined her family, already living in Wausau, WI, where she worked as Personnel Secretary in a defense plant during WWII. In 1947, the family moved back to Paynesville. Doris worked one year in Little Falls, then at Nehring Locker Plant.

She was an active member of the Evangelical United Brethren Church, now United Methodist, since 1948. She spent over 18 years teaching Sunday school, Adult Sunday School, and Bible School and was department Superintendent for several years. She also sang in the choir, served on the funeral committee, was the bulletin board decorator, a member of Martha's Quilting Circle and head of Prayer Chain.
In 2008, at age 80, she married Roger Theisen. Her last days were so blessed, spending time helping him with his wood crafts, knitting caps for children and oil painting scenery pictures. God has truly blessed her.
