Doris was blessed with two sons; the Curtis Causey and Steven Bernard Bogan. She loved to have family gatherings; her home was a sanctuary to lots of people for many, many years. Doris was a phenomenal cook. She also enjoyed fishing, word search puzzles, as well as tending to her vegetable and flower gardens. She was a true comedian at heart.
