Judith Kay Donovan

Judith “Judy” Kay Donovan, 78, passed away Wednesday, January 12, 2022, due to medical complications exacerbated by Alzheimer’s disease. We are very blessed she was able to come home to be with those who love her when she took her final breath.

She was born in Beech Grove, IN to Ellavon Dale Storms and the late Charles R. Storms on August 26, 1943. She was preceded in death by her husband of 54 years T.P. Donovan and her youngest sister Janis L Gustavson.

She is survived by four children and four grandchildren: Sharon (Stuart), Matthew and Nicholas Odle, Susan Donovan, Sally (Dennis) and Kelly Lehane, Shawn (Heather) and Liam Donovan. She is also survived by her siblings: Pamelia Storms-Barrett, Patricia Evanoff, and Robert (LuAnne) Storms, and their families.

Judy graduated from North Central High School. She was a member of Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church in Noblesville, IN. She was supportive of her husband’s entrepreneurial endeavors, managing Curley’s 1Hr Cleaners for many years and hosting events associated with their company Olinger Distributing.

Judy’s true passion was her family. She was a Brownie and Girl Scout Leader as well as a softball coach. She enjoyed traveling with her children and grandchildren, especially going to Florida or having them visit her in Las Vegas where she lived part-time.

Judy will be remembered as an amazing Mom and “Mame.” She was kind, generous, beautiful, and brought her own magic to every gathering. She will be missed tremendously by all who knew her.
