Of Taunton, formerly of Saugus, August 9. Beloved mother of Craig McDonough & his wife Jamie of New Bedford. Dear grandmother of Ashley McDonough & John Agudelo. Great grandmother of Caleb & Aubree.

Cherished partner of the late Daniel OBrien. Loving aunt of Harold III, Justin, Darcy & Jillian Patch & the late Jennifer Prezioso.
Nothing was more important to Dorothy than her family and friends. She was the happiest when spending time with those she loved, preparing our favorite dishes and sharing good laughs. Her quiet, warm natured charity will be profoundly missed.
Relatives & friends are invited to attend a funeral mass on Tuesday at 10 a.m. in Blessed Sacrament Church, 14 Summer St., SAUGUS. Please meet at church. A memorial mass will be held in Taunton at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to the American Cancer Society @ cancer.org.
