Doris was born May 15, 1927 to Floyd and Jessie McNamara in Colorado Springs. On April 12, 1944 she married James Robinson in Pueblo, Colorado.

Doris dedicated her life to being a compassionate “big sis” to her brothers and sisters. She was a devoted wife for over seventy years and a loving mother who always encouraged her children and grandchildren to strive for their highest goals. She was a homemaker, our family’s very own “Martha Stewart”. She enjoyed landscaping her gardens, experimenting with new recipes and entertaining her family with holiday dinners. She spent hours crocheting, reading and watching the Rockies.
