She was predeceased by her husband of fifty-eight years, Charles J. Donahue; and she leaves behind four children, twelve grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
Ann’s life was centered on family. She was generous and had a good sense of humor. She enjoyed telling stories about her and her four sisters’ bringing-up at the Ayer Home Orphanage in Lowell, Mass.
In her final years, she was rejuvenated by the friendships she made at Bentley Commons in Keene; and her final chapter was marked by the loving care she received at Maplewood Nursing Home, where she was a regular participant of the dance therapy group.
A catholic graveside service in the Friedsam Cemetery, Chesterfield, NH, will take place in the spring.
