Friends, family are neighbors are mourning Doherty’s loss.
“To know Lindsay Doherty was to love her. Her loss leaves a gaping hole in our community and in our family. Lindsay was one of the kindest, most loving and most generous people I have ever met, and we are so lucky to have had her in our lives,” Grace McGregor Kramer wrote on Facebook. “She was truly a wonderful person, and she will be so very missed.The committee for the marathon issued a statement following the tragic death asking that everyone keeps Doherty’s family in prayer.”
“Disbelief, at first, 36 years old, you just don’t think it can happen. As people started talking about it a little bit more, it started to hit home a little bit more. It’s sad, just sad that it’s in the community,” a local, Mark Seitzinger of the Green Ridge Neighborhood Association, told WNEP.
Doherty is survived by her husband James and their three young children.
