DOUGHERTY
Shirley Ann Dougherty (nee Koster) passed away peacefully at the age of 92 on October 11, 2022 surrounded by her family. Shirley was born in Buffalo, New York and raised in Northeast Philadelphia. She was the daughter of the late Clarence and Lillian (nee Birtch) Koster and sister of the late Bernice Sarnacki (nee Koster).
Shirley was a member of St. Martin de Porres parish and graduated from Little Flower Catholic High School in 1948. In 1950, while working at General Accident in Old City Philadelphia, Shirley met Joseph Anthony Dougherty of Germantown Philadelphia. Their love blossomed quickly, and the whole Dougherty family immediately took to Shirley. Joe noted in one of his love letters to her, “Everybody in this house must be nuts over you.” They wed on August 8, 1953 and celebrated their honeymoon in New York City and the Poconos, the first of many happy memories they would share as husband and wife over the next 44 years until Joe’s passing in 1997.
Shirley and Joe moved to Maryland while Joe served at Andrews Air Force Base in Virginia. In Maryland, they welcomed their first son, Joseph Clarence. Shirley and her Joes would return to Philadelphia, living on Princeton Ave. in Mayfair. While living in Mayfair, Shirley and Joe welcomed two more children, Donna Marie and Michael Joseph.
The Dougherty family thrived on Princeton Ave., led by their matriarch Shirley’s tireless acts of love, kindness, and laughter. They were faithful members of St. Matthew’s Parish and enjoyed welcoming their home to all family and friends. Their front steps were home to many family photos and late night chats between neighbors and friends. Shirley would host large Christmas dinners extending the dining room table to fit as many people into their row home for the holidays. She loved welcoming others and making memories with family.
Later in life, Shirley would assume perhaps her greatest role: grandma. She had eight grandchildren: Lili, John and James (children of Donna and Jamie Dodderidge); Bernadette, Kathleen, and Emma (daughters of Michael and Patti (nee Grant) Dougherty); Kevin and Tom (sons of Joe and Maria (nee Brylinski) Dougherty). She was idolized by her grandchildren and Shirley relished being their biggest cheerleader. She never missed an event, always present for the big moments, like a birthday party, graduation, wedding, or baby shower, as well as the small quotidien things - a mass where her granddaughter Kathleen served as the vocalist, a hockey game for her grandson Tom, or a one-man imaginary backyard baseball game played, coached, and umped by her youngest grandson, James.
Shirley was a willing caretaker for her grandkids on sick days and used these days to introduce them to favorite shows like The Price is Right and Live with Regis and Kelly. She enjoyed many summer vacation trips to Maine with Donna, Jamie, and their kids, winning games of bocce on Long Sands beach and insisting on treating for ice cream. She was a willing photographer for family portraits, though some heads of taller family members were liable to be cropped out in the process.
From Princeton Ave. to her apartment in Wynnewood, Shirley made everyone feel at home, not just her kids and grandchildren. Countless cousins, nieces, nephews, friends, dogs– even her doctors and hairdressers– had their lives improved from knowing Shirley.
Though if you asked her what was new in her life she would without fail say “not a ding-dang thing,” Shirley always kept busy. She was an accomplished blanket-weaver and ceramics painter. She was a proud bowling league member, but humbly kept her trophies out of sight in her Princeton Ave. basement. Shirley also participated in senior citizens in Mayfair and served for many years as a poll worker. Her Christmas cookies were legendary among family. Some argued her peanut butter blossoms were her best cookie, while others swore by her chocolate chips; the truth was that they were all excellent and would be eaten far too quickly.
Up until her final day, Shirley maintained her sharp memory, quick wit, and concern for others. She leaves behind a remarkable legacy of family, love, and joy.
Shirley will be deeply missed by her surviving children and their spouses Joe, Maria, Donna, Jamie, Michael, and Patti; her eight grandchildren: Bernadette (Justin), Lili (Scott), Kevin, Kathleen (Nick), Tom, John, Emma, and James; her three great-grandchildren: Grant, Piper, and Nicholas; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
Relatives and friends are invited to pay their respects on Saturday October 15th from 9:30 to 10:30 am, at St. Matthew’s Church, 3000 Cottman Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19149, followed by a mass of Christian burial at 10:30am.

CALLAHAN
Paul J., passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on October 1st after a long battle with cancer. Paul was born in Brooklyn, New York, the son of the late Joseph and Dorothy (nee Schmitt) Callahan, the third of their six children. He was educated at St. Patrick Grammar School, Bay Shore, NY; the former Seton Hall High School, Patchogue, NY; and University of Dayton, Ohio.
Paul is survived by his beloved wife of 48 years, Janice (nee Meehan) and their 5 children: Timothy (Mary) of South Orange, NJ; Brynn (Larry) of Annapolis, MD; Kerry (Erik) of Avon, CT; Paul (Colleen) of Fort Washington, PA; and Kyle (Caitlin) of Yardley, PA.
He will be deeply missed by his 8 grandchildren: Erin Hooper, Maggie & Katie Callahan, Declan, Clare & Luke Callahan and Kelton & Callahan (Callie) Leidal.
Paul proudly served in the U.S. Army in the 666th Transportation Corps in support of the 101st Airborne Division during the Vietnam War. He was a Purple Heart medal recipient & was honorably discharged in 1973.
Paul’s true passion was his family. His bright blue eyes would sparkle and his smile lit up a room each time he was around his wife, sisters, children, grandchildren and friends. He loved to tell a “good” joke, wear crazy outfits, share a story (perhaps slightly exaggerated), and cheering on his children or grandchildren at one of their games!
Paul handled many health issues throughout his life. His positivity & courage were an inspiration. His baseball background allowed him to take this “game of life” to many extra innings. No one cheered harder for him than his friends & family. We ask that you remember him each time you tee off, serve the tennis ball, or take a dip in the ocean & swim out beyond the breakers.
Relatives and friends are welcome to come pay their respects on Monday, October 10th, 9:30 AM at St. Vincent de Paul Church 654 Hatboro Rd. Richboro, PA 18954 immediately followed by a mass of celebration 11 AM. The burial will be private.

KINDREGAN
With deepest sorrow, we announce that Joseph Austin Kindregan II, age 40, our most beloved and charismatic son, brother, family member, and friend, passed away suddenly on Saturday, August 27, 2022. Those lucky enough to know Joe, even just a little, lost a shining light in their lives.
Joe first blessed our world on December 13, 1981. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where his unwavering love of all things "Philly" began. Upon graduating from Northeast High School, Joe enlisted in the United States Coast Guard, where he served in Alameda, CA, onboard the Coast Guard Cutter Sherman. Joe later became a graduate of the Ocean County Fire and EMS Training Academy and served in the Ship Bottom Volunteer Fire Company on Long Beach Island, NJ.
His adventures in life later landed him in Indianapolis. While in Indiana, he worked for the Recovery Center of America and loved being involved in helping others on their recovery journey. Joe successfully completed his own addiction rehabilitation program and used his firsthand experience to guide others on their path to recovery.
Over the years, many have spoken out about how unique and special he was and how fortunate they were to have known him. Joe had a heart of gold, a quick wit, a sparkling smile, and a legendary sense of humor. He was intelligent, kind, and a loyal friend. Even as a kid, he had an inquisitive mind, a rebellious nature, and an adventurous spirit. He lacked judgment of others and was drawn to those in need. He was always the first to offer help and would give what he had, even if it meant he'd do with less.
He was a devoted Philadelphia Flyers fan and wouldn't miss a game. He really loved hockey and shared that love with his father. His other loves were his family, helping others, reading, being a Veteran, playing disc golf, long drives, working with his hands, firearm design & fabrication, swimming, soda, as well as being at the beach, pulling pranks, playing volleyball, making people laugh, winning at the pool table and creative writing.
Joe will forever remain in the hearts of his Father, Joseph Kindregan, his Mother Susan, his sister Nicole Capobianco (John), his three nephews, his sister Carla Kindregan (Lucas), his sister Jenell Webster (Dan), his grandmother Josephine Bunker (Gene), his Aunt Janice Saporetti (Mike), his cousins Mike, Margie, Regina, Christy, as well as loving Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and many, many great friends. Although gone too soon, Joe will be remembered as the one-of-a-kind, beautiful soul we all knew and loved beyond measure.
