Doreen Ann McCabe, 87, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, passed away peacefully May 7, 2022, at her home with her loved ones around her after a brief illness.
Doreen was born in Littlehampton, West Sussex, England, on July 7, 1934. She was educated in the British school system.

While in Scranton, she was a homemaker. She also volunteered at the Scranton Mercy Hospital Auxiliary and served as president for a number of years. After John's retirement, they moved to the San Diego, Calif. area. While there, she was a member of the Daughters of the British Empire.
