Doris was born on September 27, 1928 to Raleigh and Izetta (Wilson) Franks in Birmingham, AL. She grew up during the depression, which helped mold her hard work ethic.

At one point she also served directly as Lee Iacocca’s secretary through General Motors Company. Most of all, Doris cherished her family.
