After attending Springfield schools, Doris met and married Francis (Frank) Conti, also from Springfield, and they moved to South Hadley in 1955. Doris and Frank had four children, Janice (Jan), Frank, David (Dave) and Joseph (Joe). Together with her husband Frank, they owned and operated a very popular restaurant and banquet facility in South Hadley on Route 202, known as Conti’s 202.
