Doris Dugan Obituary
passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family on July 30, 2010. Born in Johnstown, PA in 1930, she trained as a nurse anesthetist in Pittsburgh where she met the love of her life, her husband of 56 years, Norbert (Bert) Dugan and helped put him through medical school. Compassionate, funny and able to spot a phony from a mile away, she created a home filled with love and laughter where her six children thrived and were encouraged to follow their dreams. Preceded in death by her daughter, Katy, she is survived by her husband, Bert, and five children: Molly Mudick (Mitchell), Danny, Pat (Luann), Kelly Goff (Jim), and Tom (Lynn). She is also survived by her nine beloved grandchildren, Lianna, Abby, Sam, Emma, Noah, Patrick, Anni, Matthew, and Erin. A private memorial service for family will be held. Contributions can be made to Hospice of the Valley. Arrangements are being handled by Messinger Indian School Mortuary.
