Doich was born April 14, 1926, to Arthur and Ida Lynn Newsome Walker, both of whom preceded her in death. She united in holy matrimony as a young teenager to the late Lenna Anderson of Magee, Mississippi. Though this union produced no children, Doich regarded her nephew, Willie Walker, as a son and together with his wife Anna, Willie made certain that Mrs. Anderson had sufficient care and comfort during her later years, especially after she began residing in the home of her niece. They saw to it that Doich was thoroughly supported, and additional assistance provided to her by Terry Walker, wife of her nephew, Sammy J. Walker. At an early age, Doich united with the Rock Pisgah Baptist Church in Mendenhall, Mississippi. After relocating from Mendenhall to Jackson, Mississippi in the late 1950's with her sister, she continued to attend services at Rock Pisgah Baptist Church regularly on designated pastoral Sundays. Willie ensured that transportation from Jackson to Mendenhall and back for the church services was arranged for Doich and her sister, Her attendance only ceased due to her failing health.
