BARBARA A. DOHENY

I was here thinking of my mom and I couldn't think about her without thinking of your mom Missy I called her. She was always encouraging to me and so kind and I can remember her caring so deeply for my mother over the years my condolences and peace. Her memory will Be kept alive by her love and generosity that she had for everyone she met. I know this comes a while after her passing, but I would be remiss if I didn't put my thoughts down here for eternity as she will be eternally in my...

Sean - the most vivid memory I have of your Mom is the one I cherish from about 40 years ago! My Mom & Dad had taken a rare vacation and went to Hawaii for a week (seemed like forever at the time) and pretty much left the older kids in charge. Your Mother was kind enough to stop by (daily, now that I think about it!) and make sure the house was still standing. At one point during that week, Helen had been just a little too much for me and while she was giving instructions from the dining room...

I'm saddened by this loss. I first met Mrs. Doheny when she was Director of Volunteers at Grant Hospital. My mother Pat Nebrida, who worked as an nurse at Grant, introduced us. She was very gracious and encouraging to a teenaged Sacred Heart girl trying to decide on her professional path. Through the years, I met her at Sacred Heart Schools events, and was gratified to see her at the 2010 Sacred Heart Alumni Luncheon. I will miss talking with her. Both my mother and I send our heartfelt...

Dear Sean,
Please accept my sympathies on the loss of your dear Mother. I will cherrish out last visit this past fall as the gift it was. I know there is a communion of saints celebrating her life well lived. I am grateful for the gift she was in my life. You and your family are in my prayers at this time.

I have incredible memories of your sweet mother. I am sure she is missed, deeply. Know that you and your family are in our thoughts.

Barb and I had girl's gab nights. Barb, Mrs. D., will be missed more than words can say.
I hope she puts in a good word for those of us who will someday follow.
To her family, your pain is a tribute to the love she gracefully gave and the pride she had in all her family.
To Barb, I miss you, girlfriend.

Dear Sean

I was with CK friends this past week and was shocked to learn of your mother's recent passing. We last spoke in the spring and we would often see each other at a Sacred Heart function and on occasion we would be at the same luncheon in North Palm Beach Florida. It was always such a pleasure to catch up on news from the old neighborhood (Beverly) and she would proudly talk about the grandchildren.

On behalf of the Alumnae and Alumni of the Sacred Heart...

I am saddened and shocked to hear about Barbara. She was a gracious lady who was always ready with a warm greeting. When I commented about her delicious cookies served at a PEO meeting, the recipe was in my inbox the next day. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and loved ones.

My sincere sympathy for your loss. I was also with Barbara at the meeting (PEO) in December and when I asked her about her family, she was so proud to share the stories of all of you. I used to tease her that she had such a wonderful life, with her condo overlooking Lake Michigan and summer home in Harbor Springs. Her absence will be felt by us all.
