Doris and Alistair went sailing on their boat one Christmas when they found Susan Foreman in the middle of the water. They took her back to their house, and were surprised to find that the First Doctor came looking for her. The Doctor pretended not to know who she and Alistair were, but after Alistair left, the Doctor confided in Doris that he knew who they both were the whole time. The Doctor left shortly after this conversation, before Alistair returned. (PROSE: The Gift)
She was still alive at the events surrounding the events with the Tunguska Scroll as Major Cal Kilburne claimed that the Brigadier's wife "let me in". (TV: Enemy of the Bane)

While they were boating in the early 2010s, the Lethbridge-Stewarts' boat capsized and Doris drowned. His grief over this loss left the Brigadier nearly suicidal for a time, but he eventually moved on from his loss as he accepted that life was dear because it wasn't permanent, and that he would never sacrifice what he had with Doris simply to escape the pain he was feeling now. (PROSE: The Shadows of Avalon)
A conflicting account had Doris having Christmas dinner with the Brigadier and the Eighth Doctor in 2017. (PROSE: Not in My Back Yard)
