She was born on October 4, 1933, in Hogeland, MT, to Roy and Mable Billmayer, the youngest of their five children. She grew up on the Big Flat and married Art Egbert in November 1950.

She is survived by her four children, Connie Wiggins, Laura (Jeff) Cowell, Sid (Karen) Egbert, and Sandy (Les) Fuglevand, 14 grandchildren, 27 great grandchildren, and one great-great grandson.

Doris was a very fun loving, energetic, person. She had a contagious laugh, a great sense of humor and loved life. She gave great advice and was always up for a good time. She loved her garden, flowers, and butterflies. She could sew without patterns and designed many outfits for her children and grandchildren. She loved to get dressed up, put on fancy jewelry and go out with friends and family.

A Celebration of Life was held at the Big Flat American Legion Hall on November 2nd.
