Doris moved to Florida in 1961, and then later to Texas in 1974. Doris married her husband Gary Crossland in 1976. Doris had many loves and passions from sewing, spending time with family and long conversations with her grandchildren. Doris had an infectious smile and laugh that could brighten anyone’s day. During Doris’ time working at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, Doris made it a point to know everyone and get to know each patient that entered her doors and make them feel at ease. Doris and her sister Rose had strong bond that could be seen by anyone they encountered. On any given weekend, Doris and Rose would make their many stops at the English shops, McDonalds and the mall, and during that time they never met a stranger. Doris was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother and grandmother.
