Dougherty, Patrick Dominic was born in Hibbing, Minnesota on September 10, 1930. He proudly served his country as a Staff Sergeant in the Air Force during the Korean War. He married the love of his life, Victoria Iammatteo, in 1954 and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in business administration and accounting from the University of North Dakota soon afterward. Patrick took employment with General Electric in Milwaukee, WI. He eventually left the company to own and operate his own liquor store in the suburb of West Allis. After that, he moved his family back to Hibbing to be with relatives and friends. People knew him as a loyal husband and father. He enjoyed spending time with family, where there was always an abundance of good food, stories, card playing and much laughter. Patrick passed peacefully from this world to join his Lord and Savior on May 31, 2016. His sweet disposition and wisdom will be remembered by many. Patrick was preceded in death by his parents, Josephine Bretto-Dougherty and Thomas R. Dougherty; brothers Joseph and Thomas Dougherty; sisters Mary Hamlin, Barbara McGowan and Rosanne Mahon. He will be deeply missed by his wife, Victoria; daughter, Paula Dougherty-Cameron (Richard); sons, Mark P. Dougherty, Steven P. Dougherty (Kathy McGorray) and Michael P. Dougherty (Laura); grandchildren, Patrick Cameron (Amelia), Brian Cameron, Timothy Cameron, John Cameron, Kylie Jo Dougherty, Brendan Dougherty, Noah Royal, Vincent Dougherty and Bela Dougherty; great grandchildren, Robert Cameron, June Cameron and Dominic Dougherty-Feringa; brother, John (Mary Kay) Dougherty and sister, Katherine "Kato" Hermann; other relatives and friends.
