In later years, she worked in the national office of the Miss America Organization in Atlantic City. In her spare time, Doris enjoyed ballroom dancing with her husband on the pier of Ocean City and the ballrooms of Atlantic City, where the couple frequently made quite the impression with their dancing talents. She was also an enthusiastic fan of the Philadelphia Phillies.
