Donna Flaherty

Donna Flaherty, of Rockland, formerly of North Weymouth, passed away peacefully on April 22, 2025, at the age of 81. Born on May 4, 1943, Donna was known for her vibrant spirit and her unwavering dedication to her community and family.

For many years, Donna served as a devoted clerk at Thayer Pharmacy-CVS on Bridge Street, North Weymouth, where she built lasting relationships with customers who walked through the door. She knew everyone by name and was a comforting presence in their lives, embodying the essence of community connection.

Donna's love for her family was evident in the cherished memories they created together. She relished family vacations at Lake Winnipesaukee, where laughter and joy resonated through the warm summer air. Her summers were also filled with splashes and smiles, as her pool became a gathering place for neighborhood kids.

A hard worker by nature, Donna was social and enjoyed bringing people together. Her personality shone brightly during her monthly meet-ups with her close-knit group of friends, affectionately dubbed "the club." These gatherings were filled with stories, laughter, and cherished moments.

Donna is remembered for her forthrightness—she always spoke her mind, and her authenticity endeared her to many. Among her proudest accomplishments were her children and family, who meant everything to her. She cherished the bonds she formed and took immense pride in being a loving mother and family member.
