Kathleen T. Doherty, formerly of New York City, died Saturday, Nov. 18, 2017, at home in Newport, R.I.

Born Feb. 7, 1927, in Manhattan to John Sheridan and Rose Flood Curran, Kathleen enjoyed a long career with the New York Telephone company.

After a short break she returned to work in the Catholic Archdiocese of New York.

Kathleen was a loving and supportive mother to four children she raised alone: Patricia Chase of Portsmouth, Joan Breakell of Jamestown, Michael Doherty of New York City and Thomas Doherty of San Francisco. She was the proud grandmother of nine grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. She also leaves her sisters, Rosemarie Doherty of New York City and Nancy Ryan of Fernandina Beach, Fla., and many nieces, nephews and friends in New York and Newport.

Her beauty, bravery, ready wit, generosity and strength will be remembered and missed by all who knew her.

Donations in Kathleen’s name to Visiting Nurse Services of Newport and Bristol Counties Hospice or the Women’s Resource Center of Newport would be appreciated.

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
