Margaret (Margie) J. Dougherty, 57, of Honesdale, passed away on Monday, June 5, 2023 at Geisinger CMC in Scranton. She was preceded in death by her mother, Carol Ann Gauthier.

Born on January 2, 1966 in Plattsburg, NY, Margie graduated with her Associates in Accounting from Lackawanna College, working for several local businesses.

Her dream to further her career was realized when she graduated GPN, Summa Cum Laude, as Valedictorian of her class, from CTC of Lackawanna County. Her true passion, though, was always her children.
