Born Doris Morgan on August 27, 1928 in Spindale, North Carolina to Eugene Vernon Morgan and Carra Lavender Morgan, Doris grew up in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

After graduating from Spartanburg High School, Doris worked in the records of the sales department at the Belk Hudson Department Store. She married Billy E.
