Legacy
Bernadette was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother.

If you were lucky enough to have experienced her apple cake or rice pudding you know what they mean when they say, “made with love”.

Dougherty; devoted mother of Bernadette Beckett (Dennis), Margaretta Mattia (Anthony), Robert Dougherty, Patrick Dougherty, and the late William Dougherty.
