She was born July 14, 1921 on the family farm south of Entrican, the daughter of Nihl and Lillian (Gyger) Cross. Along with her husband Marvin, Doris was a dedicated lifelong resident of Stanton.

Jeanne and family - Sending my sympathy in the passing of your sweet, pretty mother. Seems we've always "known her" as Mom's stories of times-past frequently included your mom and her sister. She will be missed. God bless and comfort you now as you celebrate her long life. The women of her day were so strong!
