Dorris loved people and her pet poodles throughout her life. She was multi-talented and creative in so many ways. She loved to act and performed in plays with the Tulsa Little Theatre in the 1960’s. She also was a sculptor creating a variety of faces and fish as a hobby and could create beautiful silk flower arrangements. She wrote and sang her own music. She went professional under the name of Dallas Carlyle in the 1970’s as a booking agent and manager of country music performers.
She and her husband, Russ, lived their retirement years in Sarasota, Florida and thoroughly enjoyed it. Dorris was loved by all her family and many friends, and she loved us. She will be greatly missed.
