Born April 14, 1923, in Valhalla, NY, met her husband of 55 years, Marcus Hal Hoyle, Jr. when he was stationed with the U.S. Navy in New York harbor. After the war they moved to Lincolnton, NC.

Dorris enjoyed working in flower and vegetable gardens, sewing and cooking. She loved all the beauties of nature and animals, especially the sheep they raised. Dorris was active for many years in the Democrat party and Girl Scouting. She volunteered for the Blood Mobile, Christian Ministries, Meals on Wheels, Community Based Alternatives Board, and served on the State Board of Education for Exceptional Children. One of her favorite volunteer activities was working with the N.C. Guardian ad Litem program. For many years, she was a member of Lincolnton’s First United Methodist Church and later Denver United Methodist Church, ELBA, and the Denver Arts Council.

With her many friends Dorris enjoyed bridge, book club, dinner club, church circle meetings, and entertaining at home.

In addition to her interest in genealogy, she loved traveling, boating on Lake Norman, and going to her mountain condo. Her favorite mountain memories included Art in the Park weekends in Blowing Rock and visits to the Crossnore School, “Mountains of Hope for Children in Need.”

In 1998 Dorris was able to fulfill a long time dream of sending her grandchildren on a European tour.
