Doris was born in Ponder, Texas, Nov. 22, 1932 to Osburn Wilson Davis, Sr. and Vivian Roena Funderbugh Davis. She was a graduate of McKinney High School and received her Bachelor's degree from North Texas State University. Doris married James Gerald Mayo, July 28, 1956 in Farmersville, Texas.

Doris made her profession of faith at 13 years of age in a tent revival in Frisco, Texas where her parents lived. Doris was involved with Band Boosters and all aspects of her children's activities.

After moving to Bonham in 1988, Doris was a substitute teacher for Bonham ISD until 1995 when she became a fulltime grandmother. Whether at First Baptist Church in Rockwall or Boyd Baptist Church in Bonham, Doris was dedicated to shaping the lives of young people. She taught the young married women, children and preschool classes. She was a faithful member of Boyd Baptist Church where she served on various committees including the hospitality committee and homebound ministry. Doris became a "Pink Lady" at Red River Regional Hospital where she made flower arrangements for the Gift Shop and pillows which she delivered to the patients. She was involved with the local Relay for Life. First and foremost, Doris was a dedicated Christian wife, mother, grandmother and homemaker. She was preceded in death by her parents.
