LOWELL. Doris Katherine (Kelley) Mulligan, 98, a lifelong Lowell resident, passed away peacefully on Monday, January 27, 2025. She was the widow of the late John J. Mulligan who died in 2008 after Fifty Nine years of Marriage.
A daughter of the late Peter and the late Katherine (Sullivan) Kelley, she was born October 9, 1926, in Lowell, and was raised and educated in the City, graduating from Lowell High School. She was a longtime communicant of Immaculate Conception Church.
Doris worked as a clerk for the former Capital Warehouse in Lowell and had also worked for General Electric in Lowell years ago as an assembler. She enjoyed gardening and tending to her flowers, and baking, but her favorite thing was spending time with her grandchildren.
