She accepted Christ at a young age and was baptized at Olivet Baptist Church of Austin. She was a graduate of the original L.C. Anderson High School and excelled as a drum majorette. In 1952, Doris married the late Horace David Chambers and during their 24 year union ten children were born.

Jackson Howard; brothers Joe Kermit Jackson, Clarence Jackson, Charles Jackson and Raymond Jackson; grandson Virgil Holmes, great-grandson Kobe Chambers, and great-great-grandson Marcus Coleman, Jr.
