On Sunday June 13, 2021 David Aubrey Doherty of Moss Point, MS was welcomed into his eternal home. David had a strong relationship with God. He prayed every day for his family and friends and trusted God with his life.

David was born to Marshall and Audrey Doherty of Waynesboro, MS on December 16, 1933. He was the eldest of eight children. After graduating from Wayne County High school, David went on to serve in the United States Navy. He married the love of his life in 1959, Adelaide Doherty, and they had two sons, David Doherty JR born in 1959 and Alan Doherty born in 1966. He had a wonderful Career at the International Paper Company in Moss Point, MS where he worked for 28 years. He ran the number five paper machine and served as chief shop steward for many years. If you knew David, he loved to take you back in time to his childhood on the farm in Waynesboro, MS where he often spoke of his family and their two mules Jack and Joe. He would tell us how he was the oldest so his mama needed him to help bathe and tend to the smaller children. He would paint the most vivid picture in your mind with his stories. He loved hunting, fishing, gardening, grafting trees and spending time with his family. He was a dedicated employee, loving, devoted, husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and just a wonderful, kind man.
