Doris Mae Oulton was born in Barrhead, Alberta on May 23, 1945. One of three daughters, she left home early after high school.

Little is known about the troubled years after Oulton first set out, but her later activities are well-documented. She revolutionized telecommunications across the Canadian North, helping people build broadcast skills in dozens of communities. She also established the Manitoba Women's Directorate to fight sexism across the Canadian prairies.

In 2001, YMCA/YWCA of Winnipeg selected Oulton for its Women of Distinction Award.
