Donna Rene' Donohue

Donna Rene’ Donohue, age 55, of Downingtown, PA, formerly of Drexel Hill, PA passed away on December 8, 2024. Born on May 18, 1969, in Darby, PA. Donna was a truly unique spirit who epitomized compassion and nurturing, creating a lasting impression on all who had the privilege to know her. Donna was the beloved daughter of Carol Ann (nee Krohmer) and the late Raymond F. Donohue, Jr.

Known for her kindness, empathy, and generosity, Donna embraced life with an infectious enthusiasm. She had a creative flair and loved to bring beautiful things to all. From her renowned floral pieces, which she created over many years at Acme markets, to her sewing and cooking creations, and even her genuine social media posts, and musical play lists. Donna found solace and immense joy in the serene beauty of the Jersey Shore. She cherished her earliest memories of family vacations in Ocean City, and in recent years, spending making memories with family and loved ones in Atlantic City. When at home, Donna would often just walk and enjoy tranquil moments at Marsh Creek.

Donna’s profound connection to her loved ones, especially those she lost—most notably her father, Ray, and mother-in-law, Anna Glatts—fostered a rich tapestry of memories woven with threads of love, laughter, and unwavering support. Her proudest accomplishment was nurturing a strong spiritual bond with them, ensuring their presence continued to illuminate her life, as well as others, even after their departures.

Donna was the loving mother of Colette C. Glatts (Mike King), Dylan M. Glatts, Brooke O. Hendricks, and Ryan J. Hendricks and the caring sister of Michael P. Donohue (Jackie), Janet Hopson Donohue, John R. Donohue (Sue), Daniel F. Donohue (Siobhan), and Dennis J. Donohue. She’s also survived by many nieces, nephews, and in-laws, whom she loved and adored.
