Kathryn Ann Dorgan October 7, 1954 - August 27, 2016 Resident of Fremont, California

Kathryn Ann Dorgan, 61, of Fremont, passed away August 27, 2016, at home after suffering serious complications from Psoriatic Arthritis. She is survived by her mother Faye Roberts, her siblings Donna Green, Robin Roberts, Chuck Roberts, and John Roberts. Also by her nieces, nephews, their children, and her beloved cat Lilly Faye.

Ann, as she was known to her friends and family, was born in Great Lakes, Illinois, on October 7, 1954 and moved to Fremont with her family when she was just two-years-old. She twirled baton as a child and participated behind-the-scenes for high school productions.

In high school, Ann started working at McDonald's in a field that would be her life-long passion. She quickly climbed the ranks to manager where she taught work ethic, dedication, and spunk to her many charges. Many on her teams were working their first jobs, giving Ann opportunity to make a lasting impact on those who were lucky enough to work with her.

While at Washington High School she met Tom Dorgan who would become her husband in October 1977. Ann and Tom would travel much of Europe together while living in Frankfurt, Germany, supporting Tom's Air Force career before settling in Florida where Ann would volunteer with Catholic charities.

Ann loved reading mysteries, solving word puzzles, bowling, shopping and iced tea (unsweet!). She was great friend to animals, providing a loving home for many huskies and cats throughout her lifetime. But above all else, she loved her family and showered them with affection and generosity. Every Christmas, she gave Santa healthy competition in the eyes of her many nieces and nephews.

She will be remembered as a sweetheart who found a friend in every person she met.

A Memorial Service will be held for Kathryn on Thursday, September 1st, 11am at Fremont Memorial Chapel, 3723 Peralta Blvd., Fremont, CA 94536.
