Gloria Mae Doughty

Gloria Mae Doughty, 86, of North Dinwiddie, Virginia, passed away on Friday, March 13, 2026, surrounded by her loving family. Born in Brunswick County, Virginia on October 17, 1939, she was the daughter of the late William Thomas Gauldin and Ocie Mae Gammon Gauldin. She was preceded in death by her son, Kevin D. Doughty, and her eight siblings.

She is survived by her beloved husband of 67 years, Marshall “Pete” E. Doughty; her sons, Timothy E. Doughty (Michelle), Jeff C. Doughty (Angie), and Chris Doughty; numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild; and many nieces, nephews, and other extended family members.

A devoted woman of faith, Gloria was a longtime member of Woodlawn Baptist Church in Hopewell, where she worshiped faithfully for over 40 years and cherished her Sunday School class and church family. She worked for 30 years in the cafeteria at Walnut Hill Elementary School, taking great pride in cooking and serving meals to the children. An excellent cook, she found joy in feeding others and always welcomed people to her table. Her love for God guided her life, and she remained steadfast in her faith. Above all, she deeply adored her husband and sons, who were her greatest pride and joy, and she took great care in teaching them the values and skills they would carry through life. Known for her generous heart and desire to keep those around her happy, she also enjoyed quiet moments in her sunroom, working crossword puzzles and watching the birds and squirrels at her feeders.

The family wishes to express their gratitude to Gloria’s nurses and care team with At Home Care Hospice for their compassionate support.
