Doris Curran (known affectionately to her friends as “Ducky”), lived a wonderful life, centered around her family. After graduating from Notre Dame High School in Moylan, PA, she went on to complete her undergraduate degree at Immaculata College. After marrying Tom in 1956, the couple raised four rather challenging sons, and Ducky devoted her early married life to her growing family. She then completed the challenge of earning her Master’s Degree in Library Science from Villanova University, followed by a rewarding career as an elementary school librarian in the area. After retirement Ducky and Tom spent many winters in Doral, FL. She had a special place in her heart for Georgia, VT, where the Curran family spent countless summer vacations, staring out at “Ducky’s Island” on Lake Champlain. Family and friends will always remember Ducky floating peacefully on a lake in a tire tube. To the end Ducky delighted in hosting family gatherings and providing support and assistance to her friends and family.
