Doris Bridges Is Now 80 Still Lives in Home Where She Raised Marjorie

After 62 years of Marriage, Doris Bridges and her husband are still going strong. Their daughter loves to gift and spoil them, so much so that he bought her Doris a bedazzling Role watch.

Born in the 1940s, Doris went against the grain of society at the time, marrying an African American man. She started a family with him, welcoming two children over the years. Today they are living a laid-back life in their Tennessee home.

Their daughter Marjorie Harvey married an American comedian and TV icon. However, before their marriage, she had already become a mother of three in a previous relationship. Her youngest daughter is now a famous model and influencer who dated “Black Panther” star Micheal B. Jordan.

Doris Bridges & Her Husband Broke the Barriers of Interracial Marriage

Doris and her husband tied the knot in 1960, and in 2022, they celebrated their 61st anniversary. They married at a controversial time for interracial relations in the USA but stuck together, weathering the storm throughout the early days, and successfully spent over half a century together.

Their daughter, Marjorie, often celebrates her parents and their union on social media. She shared a tribute post on Instagram, with pictures from their 60th-anniversary celebration in 2021. They were joined by friends and family, including their granddaughter, Lori Harvey, who was accepted by Steve Harvey when he married Marjorie.

Doris and her husband welcomed two children, one male and the other female, and it has not been clarified what their son’s name is. Their daughter Marjorie is in awe of their relationship and says their union is “goals for real.” Today Doris is 80 years old and living a whole life with her husband in Tennessee.

Doris and her husband’s sweet moments captured and shared by Marjorie over the years have received lovely comments from fans and supporters alike. One person said they could tell from how Doris and her husband embrace each other that they are genuinely in love.

Another supporter spoke about the nature of their relationship, deeming it touching and inspiring. That individual also added that their union is a gift. Such is the uniqueness of their bond that has transcended the bounds of racial conflict and time.

Doris Bridges Raised Marjorie in a Humble Home She Refused to Leave with Her Husband

Marjorie was born and raised by her parents in their Memphis home. Marjorie’s parents lived in the same house for as long as she can remember. She once posted a picture of herself sitting on a flight of stairs outside the humble abode, and a fan criticized her for not improving her parents’ living conditions; Marjorie responded:

“My father is proud and absolutely loves the house that he built for his family and could not dream of living anywhere else. I would never insult my parents by telling them it’s not good enough. It’s the house that my brother and I were raised. Will always be a part of who I am. I’m grateful and proud of it.”

Despite the wealth and success she gained in life, Doris’s daughter is proud of her father for erecting their family headquarters on his own. She often visits her family home and shares pictures of herself looking comfortable in their residence — like a picture she shared on May 15, 2018, showing the decorated walls and red carpeted floor.

Doris Bridges Is Always Showered with Luxury Items by Her Doting Daughter

Marjorie has a very kind heart with a special place within it for her mother. She often buys expensive gifts as a token of appreciation for all she has done and all that she means to her. Doris was spoiled by her daughter on Mother’s Day in 2018 with a fancy handbag that she cherished and instantly packed with the contents from her usual bag.

Doris’s daughter flew into Memphis to surprise her on her 80th birthday. In a typical fashion, Marjorie came bearing gifts, this time with a bedazzled Torquoise-face Rolex. Her mother was delighted with the expensive gift and proceeded to show it off to her friends and family present.

She also gifted her parents a fun board game last year and shared a video showing them cluelessly figuring their way around the game. Last year, her father celebrated his birthday with pride and gratitude. Sporting his 60th wedding anniversary jersey, he noted that he is bragging about his birthday as “God has been good” to him.

In 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Doris and her husband tested positive for the virus. However, after a visit from their daughter Marjorie, fans learned that Doris and her lover were surviving and standing firm. Her wholesome pictures of Doris and her spouse from that day are currently posted on social media.

The COVID-19 pandemic has claimed the lives of many people around the world. The virus that peaked in 2020 has no favorites, claiming the lives of the famous and unknown, the rich and the poor. Doris and her husband were survivors of the virus, which made their daughter grateful for the continuation of their lives as the virus thrived among the elderly.
