Dorothy L. Carrigan

Dorothy Carrigan spent her childhood in Lincoln County, N.M., and her adolescence in Los Angeles, Calif., where she met future husband, Raymond. They moved from Los Angeles to northern California where they raised their seven children.

Dorothy approached all that she did with an artistic eye and an intuitive sense. Her gardens were beautiful, and her meals were works of art. She especially valued her faith in God, and throughout her life she focused on sharing this faith with her children and friends.

Dorothy was a blessing in life and will be greatly missed.

Dorothy was the beloved mother of Sister Jeanne Carrigan, OSF, Susan Carrigan Park, Dominique Carrigan, Dolres Hardin, Mary Margaret Lamb, Victor Carrigan and Stephen "Matthew" Carrigan.
