Mary Constance Dougherty

November 21, 1948 - February 2, 2020

Myrtle Beach, SC… Connie Dougherty, 71, passed away peacefully on Sunday, February 2, 2020, after a courageous 12 year battle with Alzheimer's Disease. She was surrounded by family throughout her last days. She was a loving mother and wife who will always be remembered for her huge smile, her patience, her homemade peanut butter cups, and her love of Christmas. But perhaps, most of all, she will be remembered for the relationship with the love of her life, her late husband, Jim. To those of us that knew them well, her tolerance of his storytelling was a superpower we all wish we could have. Now, they are at peace and together again. Her love of people and children extended to her career, which she spent working in the Hamilton Township Public Schools as an Administrative Assistant. Her impact on her colleagues and the children she worked with is immeasurable. She is survived by her 2 children, Brendan Dougherty (Jonna) of Myrtle Beach, SC; Meaghan Anderson (Mark) of Maynard, MA; 4 grandchildren, Cruz and Knox Dougherty and Harper and Paige Anderson. She is also survived by her mother, Ellen Lazzeri of Camden, DE, her brother John Stant (Marian) of Dover, DE and sister Theresa Harris (Tim) of Magnolia, DE, and many nieces and nephews. A funeral mass will be celebrated on February 21, 2020 at 10 am in the Church of the Holy Cross, 631 South State Street, Dover DE. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Alzheimer's Association at the link below. https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/teamendalzboston2020/meaghananderson
