Doris Elaine Hermes was born September 13, 1927, the daughter of Nick and Pauline (Geiss) Hermes. She was raised on the family farm in rural Glen Ullin and attended country school until age 10, when the family moved into Glen Ullin.

After graduation Doris moved to Bismarck and then St. Paul, Minn., where she was employed at Sears Roebuck & Co. mail order office, before returning to Glen Ullin. Doris was employed at Marion Manor Healthcare Center until she retired.
Because Doris’ brother, James Hermes, was in the Navy during WW2, she was a proud member of the American Legion Ladies Auxiliary.
