Doris Louise Doll was born March 2, 1926, in San Dimas, California, to Theodore V. and Ellen L Honeyman Mahlo. Her family moved back to Oklahoma when she was three years old, where they lived on a farm northeast of Stillwater. She received her education at Eureka Consolidated School and Oklahoma A&M College at Stillwater where she majored in Economics and minored in Secretarial Administration.
In 1946 she married Robert W. Owen of Cherokee. In 1948 they went into the farming business near Goodwell where they lived until 1953 when her husband became a district manager for an insurance company in Oklahoma City. In 1962 they built and managed the bowling lanes in Perry. Doris began her career as a secretary-bookkeeper in 1949 with most of her work being as a legal secretary. In 1968 the family moved to Cherokee where she continued as a legal secretary for a law firm. Later she was a secretary-bookkeeper for a livestock farming business. When her children were in school, she was active in PTA and Band Parents. She was a Cub Scout leader, Girl Scout leader, and taught summer Bible school. She was also a bowling instructor for 32 years. Most of her time volunteering was with youth programs.
