She was a lifetime member of Bush Arbor Primitive Baptist Church.

She is survived by her sons: Gary Mansfield and wife, Cheryl, and Douglas Mansfield and wife, Kate, all of Burlington; grandsons: Jonathan and Logan Mansfield. Along with her husband and parents, Doris was preceded in death by her brothers: Clyde Oakley, Tom Oakley, Hubert Oakley, Jake Oakley, Eugene Oakley and her sister, Mattie “Pat” Byrd.
