Kathryn Doherty

Kathryn Jane Perna Doherty of Cos Cob, CT passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her beloved family on January 25, 2022 at the age of 65. She was known for her bright laughter, her deep spiritual life, and as the one who brought everyone together. Kathryn graduated from Greenwich High School and received a BA in Visual Arts from Hampshire College, where she met the love of her life and late husband, Phillip Kurt Doherty. Their home was a gathering place for neighborhood children and friends. Throughout her life, Kathryn cultivated her creative talents, including painting and drawing. After working in Manhattan and Italy, Kathryn and Phillip started the graphic design firm Doherty & Doherty, Inc, and her copyrighted artwork was used on textiles and ceramics. Always a health and nutrition enthusiast, in recent years, she devoted herself to integrative healing, both as a trained practioner and teacher, leading workshops in the U.S., England, and Germany. Kathryn will be remembered by her many friends for her infectious love of the moment, inspiring positive outlook, and unfailing warmth.
