She married Norman R. Faucher on November 24th, 1956 in St. Joseph Church in Biddeford. They later moved to Poiters, France, where Norman was stationed with the military. Doris later became a teacher at Biddeford Regional Vocational School where she remained employed until her retirement in 1988. She became a member of the Franco-American Writers & Composers Association, the Alpha Omicron PI sorority at the University of Maine in Orono, and the Franco-American Genealogy Society in Biddeford.
