Doris Pauline McGhee (HoneyBee) was born September 22, 1956 in Mobridge, SD.

Her parents: Walter Melvin and Nora Mae (Rough Surface) Tiger.

Doris grew up in Kenel, SD until she was a young adolescent and then her family moved to Mobridge, SD. Doris attended Pierre Boarding School, later attending high school in Fort Yates, ND.

Soon after high school Doris had become a mother to three daughters and one son.

Doris worked at the Pierre Indian Learning Center for many years in Pierre, SD. Doris became diagnosed with diabetes and decided then to change her profession and go into the health care field.

Doris then moved to Mandan, ND where she received more education and began working in the nursing field for the next 26 years caring for the elderly/disabled individuals in the Bismarck/Mandan area. During this time Doris met her dear friend Brian Pfeifle and together they would travel and attend the PBR in Las Vegas which became their annual trip for several years until Brian had succumbed to his deteriorating health. Soon after Doris had become ill which resulted in her having to receive dialysis. Throughout her illness, she remained strong and enjoyed spending time with family and friends. One of her greatest joys was to see her great grandson Aiden Thomas, to whom she gave the nickname "Blue".

She will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Doris was a kind, generous and loving soul to whom she would share whatever she had. No matter where you saw her, she would be smiling and her laughter was unique and one of a kind just like her.
