By Herald Staff

CREST HAVEN — Undine “Dina” Dougherty turned 102 on June 5. Two days later she was honored at a birthday party attended by her family and friends at Crest Haven Nursing Home and Rehabilitation Center.
Freeholder Gerald Thornton and the center’s staff joined the celebration. The monumental event was the recreation room of the center, 12 Moore Road.
Dougherty was born in Bridgeton on June 5, 1909. She attended Wildwood High School and then Pierce School of Business. She married Edmond Dougherty and the couple settled in Court House with their three sons and operated Dougherty’s Express Moving and Storage Company.
Dina and Edmond, members of the First Baptist Church of Cape May Court House, both had a love of horses. These equestrians split time between family, church, crossword puzzles and the love of reading on the beach, cooking and trying all the ‘new’ Kraft theater recipes, according to a release.
Known as Dina, she is the proud grandmother of 11 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren.
