Marie A. Doherty, 96

Marie A. (Haley) Doherty of Hull died in her home, where she spent her 96 years of life, surrounded by her family on Aug. 21, 2022. She was the beloved wife of the late James E. Doherty, Sr., and the devoted mother of James E. Doherty, Jr., and his wife, Carol, of Norton, and Mary Beth Tulio and her husband, Ralph, of Scituate. 

Mrs. Doherty was predeceased by her eight brothers, Edward, Joseph, Francis, Walter, Thomas, Robert, Rev. William, and Paul Haley. She was the cherished Grammy to her five grandchildren: Kelly, Christine, Caitlin, Devin, and Jonathan, and her two great-grandchildren, Haley and Delaney. Mrs. Doherty also is survived by many nieces and nephews. 

Mrs. Doherty lived her entire life in the same home she grew up in. She graduated from Hingham High School, where she served as class secretary. Mrs. Doherty was always up to the challenge of a crossword puzzle. She loved her home, and especially loved her view of the ocean from her sun room. She played the organ at St. Mary’s Church in Hull for many years, was a devout Catholic, and raised her family with the same values she was taught. Mrs. Doherty loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Her faith and her family were the foundation of all that was truly important to her. She will be sadly missed by all those who knew her. 

Visiting hours were held on Thursday, Aug. 25, and a Celebration of Life Service will be held in the Pyne Keohane Funeral Home at 9:45 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 26, prior to the funeral Mass in St. Mary’s Parish in St. Ann’s Church at 10:30 a.m. Burial in Hull Village Cemetery.

Donations in memory of Mrs. Doherty may be made to Norwell Visiting Nurse Association & Hospice, 120 Longwater Drive, Norwell, MA 02061.
