Eileen M. Doran

She was born on August 16th, 1940 in New York City to John and Margaret (Peggy) McGrath. Eileen grew up in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan which is where she met and married her husband, Richard Doran. They moved to Sloatsburg, NY and raised their family.

While staying home to raise her children, Eileen took college courses and received her nursing degree from Rockland Community College and became a RN. Eileen worked as a rehabilitation nurse at Bergen County Hospital and then changed careers to work as an administrative assistant at a stock brokerage firm.

Eileen lived a very happy life as a mother, grandmother, sister, wife, aunt and friend. She thoroughly enjoyed going to Foxwoods and local bingo games, playing poker and attending the Suffern/Ramapo Senior Clubs and VFW events. Eileen was an active member of the community, holding the positions of Vice President of the Ramapo Senior Citizen’s Club for eight years and proudly served as the secretary for the Women’s Auxiliary of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. But most of all, as Matriarch of the Doran Clan, Eileen loved spending time with her family.

Eileen is predeceased by her parents, husband, brother John McGrath and son-in-law Joseph Dugandzic.

She is survived by her siblings Ann McGrath, Eddie McGrath (Kathy McGrath), Thomas McGrath, sister-in-law, Mary McGrath and her 3 daughters and 2 sons-in-law, Ann Flynn, Maureen Dugandzic, Alice Roman, Brian Flynn, Michael Roman; her 8 grandchildren, Brianne McGowan (Sean McGowan), Tara Flynn (Catie Evans), Sean Flynn, Kerry Dugandzic (Corbin Bronsch), Richard Doran Dugandzic, Kevin Roman, Margaret Roman, Shannon Roman as well as many loving nieces and nephews.

Eileen was known for her kindness, willingness to help others and her quick wit. She will be greatly missed but will live on through her children and grandchildren.
