In 1945 she married William Carpenter in Casper where they ultimately settled and lived the rest of their lives. She worked for the phone company for 31 years. She was a member of Shepherd of the Hills Presbyterian Church, the Telephone Pioneers, various bridge groups, and had volunteered at Meals on Wheels for 35 years. Doris enjoyed playing golf, playing bridge, reading, rooting for the Broncos and organizing family gatherings. In her retirement years she and her husband spent winters in California, Florida, and, most recently, Sun City, Arizona, where she had many, many good friends. Survivors include her two sons, Bob and Ken (Margaret) of Casper; grandsons, Patrick (Gina) of Gillette, Michael (Amy) of Duncan, SC, and Colin (Amanda) Gibbs of Jackson, N.J.; and five great-grandchildren.
