Doris was born on March 13, 1922 to Charles G. and Ethel May (Brooke) Schantz in Bethlehem, PA and went to meet her Lord on August 4, 2016 in Oklahoma City, OK. She was the oldest of seven children and is survived by her brother Frank Schantz and wife Grace of Waukegan, IL. In 1943, during World War II at the age of 21 yrs, Doris joined the Women’s Army Corp, she was very patriotic and loved her country with her service. During her time in basic training in Aberdeen, MD, she met Marine Private Olas M. Plemons, after only three dates, on September 15, 1946 they were married and began a new journey in Jacksboro, TX.

Also in that same year they joined Southern Hills Baptist Church and were faithful members for over 40 years.

She so loved her children, teaching Sunday School for most of the time, also she was part of the staff as Director of Childhood Education. She joined the Baptist Children’s Home as a Play Therapist. She always said, you are never too old to learn, she attended Oklahoma University previous to 1978 and received her Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree and continued to teach children for many years. She lived an amazing and long life, her faith in God and dedication to her family and church and love for children was her greatest calling.
