Kathleen Doubleday Obituary
Kathleen was born and raised in Methuen, to William and Marie Roeger, and was the sister to William Roeger. She was predeceased by her husbands, John W. Durgin III and James A. Doubleday. Her greatest joy was her family and her memory is cherished by her four children, Dawn Marie Power of Florida, Colleen Harris of Maine, James Doubleday of Maui, and Heather Roberts of New Hampshire. There are nine grandchildren and many other family members.
She enjoyed cooking, decorating, and her many, many friends. She adored nature, the weather, and all creatures great and small.
Her quick-witted humor, kindness, friendship, laughter and unwavering love will be greatly missed by all the lives she touched.
Memorial donations can be made, in lieu of flowers, to The American Stroke Association National Center, 7272 Greenville Ave., Dallas, TX 75231.
Visiting hours will be from 4 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 15, at the Doane, Beal & Ames Funeral Home, 160 W. Main St., Hyannis. A funeral Mass will be held at 10 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 16, at St. Francis Xavier Church, South Street, Hyannis.

Dear Battle Family Cousins,
I am so sorry to hear that Kathleen has passed away. She and Jim were always so full of fun at reunions, weddings and the like. I will miss Kathleen's way of having something to say that would make me laugh! Please know that all of you are in my thoughts.

Dear Children of Kathleen,
You are in my heart and prayers at this difficult time. Your mother was a wonderful woman, full of love and hope and God knows how much she LOVED all of her children and grandchildren!
I have dementia now and my daughter is helping me write this to you. My daughter showed me Kathleen's picture and I recognized her wonderful smile right away and her beautiful eyes. We took your Mom out for a nice lunch and a nice ride on 6A a few weeks after your Dad passed. I am so sad right now for all of you.
God Bless,
With love and prayers,
Elaine Karath( Nancy Merlington's Mum).

Message to My Godfather/cousin Bill:
Kathleen was so care-free and lovely. It is so shocking that within a very short time, your family has gone to a better place. I love all of you, and hope we can get together soon. I will visit next time I come to Massachusetts. Kathleen was a treasure. I will light a candle for her at San Xavier Mission on the Tohone O'Odham Indian Reservation.
God Bless all of the Durgin, Doubleday, & Roeger families.
