Ann L. Dougherty

Ann L. Dougherty, age 89, of Orlando, Florida passed away on Thursday, October 10, 2024.

 Ann was born in Philadelphia, PA as a First Generation American with deep love for her Irish heritage and roots. Despite losing her vision at a young age, she accomplished many great things (while completely blind!), including raising two young children, graduating from college summa cum laude, running a business, traveling the world, and getting her real estate license. 

 Some of her favorite hobbies were dancing (especially the Irish Jig and Jitterbug!), playing piano, philosophical debates, and shopping. Ann had a wonderful sense of humor but couldn’t get through a joke without accidentally giving away the punchline. 

 She is preceded in death by her husband, Thomas J. Dougherty and parents, John Melley and Grace O'Malley. 

 She is survived by her daughter, Carolann C. Flesch (Rick), son, Thomas C. Dougherty (Mary), grandchildren, Shannon M. Couillard (Tom), Erin N. Townsend (Tommy), and Grace L. Dougherty, and great-grandchildren, Colin T. Couillard and Colette M. Couillard.

 Visitation is Monday, October 21, 2024 from 9am to 10:30am at Newcomer Cremations, Funerals & Receptions (Winter Park Chapel). 

 Funeral Services are Monday, October 21, 2024 at 11:00 am at Saints Peter & Paul Catholic Church, Winter Park, FL. 

 Interment will be on Tuesday, October 22, 2024 at 11:00 am at Florida Hills Memorial Gardens, Spring Hill, FL.
