Obituary of Doreen Mulholland
It is with great sadness that the family of Doreen Mulholland announces her passing at Turnbull Nursing Home on December 12, 2021. Born in Saint John on September 8, 1937, she was the daughter of the late Mark and Mary (Duggan) Sullivan.
Doreen was a teacher for 28 years, sharing her gift with students at Loch Lomond School and St. John the Baptist. Faith was important to her, and she was a member of the Holy Redeemer CWL. She also served as a member of the CWL for Holy Trinity Church and was an Auxiliary for St. Joseph’s Hospital and Rocmaura Nursing Home. Doreen was a huge fan of Elvis Presley, and it always brought her great joy to hear his music. Most of all, family was Doreen’s greatest happiness. She was caring and gave so much to those she loved – everyone was welcome at her house, and if you happened to stop in during a mealtime, you were getting a plate! She will be missed so much by so many.
Doreen will be lovingly remembered by her daughters: Beth (Jeff) Fry, and Margot (Everett) Nilsson; grandchildren: Courtney (Jeff) Fournier, Ryan Fry, Robert Hanlon (Sarah), William (Martine) Chenhall, Nicole Hanlon, and Thomas Hanlon (Chloe); great grandchildren: Joseph Hanlon, Owen Hanlon, Fletcher Chenhall, Dean Hanlon, and Olivia Reynolds; sisters: Ann Vautour, Kathryn Clark, and Margaret Record; as well as several nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews.
Besides her parents, Doreen was predeceased by her son Mark Mulholland, brothers John and Harold Sullivan, and brothers-in-law Jean Vautour and Donald Record.
Doreen’s family wish to extend an extra special thank you to the staff of Turnbull Nursing Home for the care and kindness they showed during her stay.
