Doris not only drew and painted herself, but also studied art history and was an expert on everything from Romanesque Cathedrals to Van Gogh. Her love of northeastern Colorado history led her to write two books on the subject. A lifelong learner herself, she with her husband Rex were supporters of the Literacy Coalition in Sterling and established and maintained the Monahan Second Chance Academy, which provides college courses for inmates at the Sterling Correctional Facility. All who knew her admired Doris for her extensive knowledge and her willingness to share it. She presented numerous programs for Sterling Reviewers and her work as an historian were recognized by the Logan County Historical Society She was preceded in death by her husband Rex.
