Erin Patrice Doherty

Beach, FL

Erin was born on February 5th, 1958 to Joy & Pat Canavan in West Palm Beach. She dedicated

her life to helping people. Her journey brought her to a life of sobriety and living in service of

others. She owned and managed halfway houses, keeping her rooted and connected to sober

living. She always had room at her table for one more.

Erin was the matriarch of the family, a leader, and a provider. She was first a mother, from the

eyes of her sons when they were each 5 years old, she was their powerful, angelic protector. As

they grew up with her by their side, she became their genuine, vulnerable and confident

cheerleader. And to the rest of the world that they shared her with, she was a loving, caring and

altruistic friend and daughter.

She leaves behind SO MANY people who adored her and looked to her for guidance,

understanding, and grace. Sons, Jared, Austin, and Hunter, Daughters in Law: Makylla &

Christina. Mother, Joy. Brothers Tim & Kevin. Nieces: Emilie and Darby Nephews: Jakob,

Finnegan, Declan, Macauley and Zachary. and 12 Grandchildren: Family & Friend: Linda &

Chip,Matt, Kim Doherty & Maranda. Tara, Debbie

She has returned to the arms of god and joined those who predeceased her; sister Lisa, Poppy,

grandsons, Jaxon and Leyton.

Services will be held at Reveal Church Lake Worth, FL on Saturday 12/16 at 2 pm.
