Doris MacNichol Obituary

Doris MacNichol
Lynn - Doris L. (Price) MacNichol passed in her sleep on November 15, 2024 after a long, healthy, fulfilling life at the age of 93. She was the youngest daughter of Frank and Emily (Gorski) Price, leaving her only surviving sibling of 10, Frank Price. Doris was proud of her Irish and Polish Heritage. She was a lifelong Lynner, graduating from Lynn Classical. Working in the downtown area, she was a petite, green eyed beautiful blonde met Ken, tall, dark and handsome. After marrying her one true love, they settled in Lynn. They raised 6 children and enjoyed their lives until Ken passed one week after celebrating 65 years of togetherness. Doris loved being a mother, cherished her grandchildren and spending time with family. She loved her home and could always be found outside tending to her flowers or in the winter, curled up with a good book. After raising the family, Ken and Doris purchased their own business, Eastern Steel Shank Inc. in the once flourishing shoe industry. Working together, they were proud of this accomplishment. Later in life, Doris spent several years at the Brudnick Nursing Facility receiving wonderful care. She leaves her daughter Karen and Frank Federico, sons Kenneth B. MacNichol and Kathy, Steven MacNichol and Pat, William MacNichol and Trish, daughters Maureen Susan (Sue) Webster, Kathy Delisle, over 25 grandchildren and great-grandchildren and extended family.
