Jeannette B. Doherty

1932- 2009
Jeannette Bernice Doherty died Friday
night, February 20, 2009 at the Melrose Wakefield Hospital in
Melrose. She was 76. Jeannette was born on February 22, 1932
in Malden. She is the daughter of the late Mitilda and Harold
O’Rourke of Malden. Jeanette was married to the former Thomas
Leavitt Doherty for 28 years when they shortly started their
family.
Jeannette worked for Intercity Care in Malden, as a homemaker for
over 18 years. Jeannette enjoyed her family, maintaining her
own home, baking her specialty pies, her gardening, knitting and
especially her days spent at the beach. She also loved staying
in touch with the elders that she cared for after her
retirement. One of Jeannette’s favorite routines was having a
Friday afternoon with her dear sister-in-law Margaret, whether
it was having lunch or just running errands. The simple things
in life made Jeannette very happy. We admired her independence
and her time that she gave to all of us.
She is survived by her 4 devoted
sons, William Doherty of Everett, Michael Doherty of Revere,
Richard Doherty of Saugus, John Doherty and his wife Linda of
Peabody, her daughter-in-law Judy Tenaglia and her husband Dave
of Melrose along with her 6 loving grandchildren, Ryan of Las
Vegas, Keith of Wisconsin, Thomas and Meghan of Malden and
Madison and Jake of Peabody.
