KENNEDY, Doris M. (Curran) Of Dedham formerly of Squantum, passed away peacefully on May 8, 2019, at the age of 76. Doris will be greatly missed by all who have known her. Doris was the daughter of the late Dorothy Curran and the late William Curran, sister of the late William T. Curran, sister-in-law of Elizabeth Curran, and loving aunt of Kerry and Stephen Smith and Shannon and Tony Iannetti, partner of the late Francis Gallagher, and loving friend of Ann Tyler.
She dearly loved to sing in the church choir, sewing, baking her fresh made bread and her pet dogs. She graduated from St. Patrick's high school in Roxbury. She spent most her career working for the MBTA as a secretary until she retired in 2004. In her later years, she was extremely proud to have gone back to school to receive her degree at Emmanuel College. Her early retirement years were spent on Cape Cod which were cherished memories until in her later years Alzheimer’s disease robbed her of those memories. But even at the end she never lost her love of music where she could be heard humming a favorite tune. She is now at peace joining the love of her life, Franny Gallagher.
