In the next several years, the family enlarged to include sisters Phyllis, Maxine, Marilyn, Beverly and brothers Dennis and Marvin.
The Andersons were a farming family and remained living on the South Dakota farm throughout the early 1940's, during which time the children's father was drafted into the US Army and served in the Philippine's during the latter part of WWII. Peter returned home safely after the war ended and a few short years later the parents decided to leave farming and moved their family to Haysville, Kansas, a suburb of Wichita.
Doris completed her schooling in Haysville, then on August 26, 1955, she married John Philip Elliot in Wichita. The couple eventually became parents of sons John and Stephen and daughters Cheryl, Sharon and Sandra.
