Born in Kennetcook on November 17, 1921, she was the daughter of the late Guy and Cassie (White) Barron. Doris graduated from the Aberdeen School of Nursing and spent most of her career serving at the Hants Community Hospital in Windsor, retiring as head night nurse. She enjoyed her retirement and spent most of her time with family and friends. Doris was blessed to have so many wonderful friends and neighbours whom she kept in close contact with. She was an avid reader, enjoyed her daily crossword and was an enthusiastic Toronto Blue Jays fan. She enjoyed attending the many card parties that were held in Noel and Kennetcook.
