Mary Ann Doherty

Born in Boston, she was the daughter of the late John J. and Helen T. (Bryson) Doherty.

Maddie grew up in Scituate and graduated from Scituate High School, class of 1972. She went on to graduate from Bridgewater State University in 1978. For many years, she worked in banking in Boston. Maddie then went on to work at Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Hingham, from which she recently retired.

Maddie enjoyed traveling, including taking cruises to Hawaii and Alaska, and traveling to Europe many summers. As much as she enjoyed traveling, she also loved spending time in her beloved hometown of Scituate. Her weekends were spent shopping and going out to lunch with her sisters. She had lifelong friends from growing up in Scituate and was always making great friends along the way. She was a fixture at every family party and always made the best homemade baked goods, such as her famous mint brownies, strawberry shortcake, and Grammy’s chocolate cake.
