Doris was born in Tulsa, the daughter of Clyde and Isabelle Pinkerton Winner on July 15, 1922.
She moved to Ponca City with her family at a very young age and made Ponca her home throughout her adult life until the age of 80, when she moved to Lindsborg, Kan., to be near one of her daughters, Joyce Kurtz.
Doris and Arthur Lee Golay married on Jan. 19, 1941. They had three daughters, Sharon, Joyce and Judith. The family spent many yearly and memorable trips in Branson, Mo., where they stayed at the Sammy Lane Resort. They loved traveling to the Ozarks to see the foliage in the fall.

She traveled to Hawaii, Alaska, Nova Scotia and on a cruise in the Caribbean. She loved watching baseball and had the opportunity to watch the Red Sox play the Mariners in Seattle.
