Doreen A. Peirce

Lincoln – Doreen A. (Traghella) Peirce, 63, passed away unexpectedly at her home on Friday, October 11, 2024.

She was the beloved wife of Gary A.

Peirce for the last 44 years.

Doreen was born and raised in Pawtucket, the daughter of Dorothy (Anderson) Traghella & the late William Traghella, along with her sister, the late Linda (Traghella) Peirce.

Doreen graduated from Pawtucket West High School in 1979 and later completed her Associate’s Degree in Business from Bryant College.

She then went to work at Bell Findings Co. until she moved on and received her Real Estate License so she could have more flexibility while raising her family.

She worked at Century 21 Butterman & Kryston for the past 27 years where she created many lasting friendships and memories.

Doreen was the most selfless, hardworking person.

Although, nothing made her happier than her family.

She loved having her house full.

Whether she had all of her grandchildren sleeping over or was hosting a dinner or cookout, she loved the chaos.
