Patricia Dougherty Obituary
On July 5th, Patricia Dougherty's life came to its conclusion on this Earth. She had been a resident of Perry Township for nearly 70 years. Patty was born in Moundsville, West Virginia on June 11th, 1927 to Rhea and Paul Moore. The family relocated to Brewster, Ohio when she was still a child. Patty graduated from Brewster High School with the Class of 1944. It was there in high school she met her future husband and love of her life, Charles Dougherty. They would marry in November 1947, after Dad had returned from serving in the Army Air Corps during World War II.
Patty was pre-deceased by her husband Charles, and daughter Karen. Patty leaves behind daughters Debbie (Dave) Musolff of Bad Axe, Michigan, Diane Dougherty and Ronda Selway of Akron. Along with sons Brian Dougherty of Canton, and Sandee and Kevin Dougherty of Canton. In addition, she leaves behind her grandchildren, Amanda, Dan, Emily, Ellen, Chelsea, Megan, Rachel, Joshua and Samuel. Also great grandchildren Quentin, Kuper, Maizie, Henry, Vivian and Maya. The family would like to express their deep and heartfelt gratitude to Visiting Angels of Canton, for taking care of Mom and helping to keep her at home. You were all so very special to her. We also would like to thank all of the wonderful folks at Aultman Hospice for helping her through the final days…
"Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy". Matthew 5:7

I remember as a kid your Mom and Dad when they started to come to Trinity. Also remember them hosting a weenie roast in the back yard for their Sunday school class. The last time I saw Pat was at the Wayne Co. Fair in the rabbit barn. She at first didn't remember me till her side kick, Betty Netzly told her I was the older daughter of Al and Opal Taylor, then she remembered. Your mother was one of a kind!

The world just lost one of the sweetest people that I've ever met. She was one of a kind, truly the kind of person this world needs.
Mr. and Mrs. Dougherty always made me feel welcome, and were so kind to me. Glad to see them back together! RIP
