New Hampshire - Lorna J. (Moore) Doherty, 62, a resident of Pelham NH for the past thirty-three years, passed away peacefully with family by her side, on Tuesday, December 1, 2020, after a long six and a half year battle with colon cancer. She is the beloved wife of Bill Doherty, to whom she had been happily married for 35 years.

Born on July 21, 1958 in Keosauqua, Iowa to her loving parents, Louis and June Moore. Lorna graduated from Gloucester High School and received an Associate degree of Science from North Shore Community college in Beverly Mass.

Lorna had a long career as a medical secretary, working at Addison Gilbert Hospital, Nashua Memorial Hospital for many years and several rehabilitation facilities after that. Lorna will be greatly missed by several co-workers whom she stayed in close touch with throughout the years. Lorna most enjoyed time spent at the Lake, ski trips up north with her family, and vacationing with her husband and close friends. Growing up on the seacoast, the ocean always had a special place in her heart. Lorna truly devoted herself to her family and friends. She was the most giving and selfless person. Her greatest joy was time spent with her grandchildren. The special bond she created with them will always remain in our hearts. In addition to her loving husband Bill, Lorna is survived by three children: Nathaniel Doherty and girlfriend Tayce Morgan of Deering, NH, Kyle Doherty and his wife, Amanda of Derry NH, Caitlyn Vaiknoras and her husband Jamison of North Andover; three sisters: Linda Korinko and the late Robert Korinko of Gloucester, Karen Sue Burgess and her husband Valdor of Gloucester MA, Kim Rick and her husband, Vinny of Epping NH. Five cherished grandchildren: Trevor Doherty, Jonathan Doherty, Jack Doherty, Luke Doherty, and Hailey June Vaiknoras. She fought hard to meet her first granddaughter whom she called her "precious angel". Also survived by many nieces, nephews, and dear friends. Predeceased by both her parents, her father and mother in-law, Bill and Bertha Doherty, brother in-law, Robert Korinko and nephew, Ryan Burgess. In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy may be made to Dana Farber, Colon Cancer Research for a Cure.
