Doris Mae (Johnson) Rogers was born in Manville, WY on May 8, 1933 to Frank Hjalmar Johnson and Florence Mabel (Davis) Johnson.  She attended schools in Manville and Newcastle, WY and St. Martin's Academy in Sturgis, SD. Doris married David A. Rogers on September 7, 1948 in Deadwood, SD.  They had one daughter, Shiela born in 1950.  In 1961 they moved to Gillette, WY as David was transferred with his work to the Wyodak Power Plant.  Doris has remained a long-time resident since then. Doris retired in 1997 as Office Manager to Star Printing & Supply/Larry Johnson.  She thoroughly enjoyed her work there meeting, visiting and helping numerous customers with all of their orders. Doris's many interests and hobbies included going to the cabin in the Black Hills, flower gardening (loved her flowers), sewing/quilting, garage sales, antique shows (loved collecting her pink dishes), reading and her beautiful oil paintings that she created. And oh, my how she enjoyed her Mocha Frappe', Mocha Coffees and Vanilla Shakes.  Most of all she enjoyed her little Coton de Tulear (dog) "Shotsi" and her two Conure Parrots--"Hooker" and "Baby Bird" and spending as much time with her daughter.
