Doris Roselind was born to Oscar Earl Cramer and Edna Clara Groseclose, 03 Feb 1918 in Morgan County Indiana where her parents were born as well.

After graduating from Southport High School in 1936 she married Frank Kautsky Jr.

Doris was a very talented artist. She had a wonderful voice and could sit down any play music by ear. She could draw a picture in pencil, water colors and oils.
She drew each of her first son's Frank Kautsky III birth announcements by hand.
She worked as a designer of greeting cards and did landscape design in Florida

Later in life during WII, she went to work for Lucas Harold Navel Ordinance. She worked on the Norden bomb sight and became a final inspector. In later years while touring Warner Robbins Air Force Museum in Georgia, she saw both of the bomb sights that were in the Enola Gay and the other plane that dropped the bomb on Hiroshima Nagasaki. On the small metal plate of both were her initials DRK, Doris R Kautsky.
While working at Lucas Harold she was the winner of a beauty contest, the judges of who were fellow workers elected Mrs. WOW (Woman Ordinance Worker)

She later re-married and in 1946 Steven Lee Shiphorst was born to Doris.

Her third marriage was to Charles Bell who adopted Steven.

After she and her Mother were widowed they lived together. Doris lovingly cared for her for 25 years until Edna's death in 1991. During this time they traveled in a motor home and became beach combers.

The memory of her is cherished by her family and will be missed.
May you rest in peace.
