Doris Ann (Leiding) Kuester was born on July 24, 1940 near Orchard, NE to Henry and Alice (Bridge) Leiding.

Doris taught in the Neligh, NE area prior to her marriage.

Doris was a member of Faith Lutheran Church in Stanton, and previously had been a member of St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church, rural Wisner-where she was active in Ladies Aid and taught confirmation classes. After the church closed, she became a member of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Wisner, where she belonged to its Ladies Aid. Doris was involved in 4-H while her children were participating.
