Maryann Donohue

In addition to her father, she is preceded in death by her loving husband of 49 years, Tommy Donohue and her son, Frederick Donohue.

She is survived by her mother Anna Wiegand; daughter, Debbie Marino; son, Thomas Donohue; three grandchildren, Katie and Matt Marino and Elizabeth Donohue; and two brothers, Thomas and Anthony Wiegand and their families.

Maryann, also known as Memar, was a light in a dusty world. Memar had a sense of humor that encouraged herself and others through tough times and made the good times that much brighter. She loved her family above all and stuck close to them her entire life. A faithful and sweet woman, we take comfort that she is with God and now back in the arms of her loving husband and son, who she missed dearly while they were apart.

Memar, though worlds separate us now, you’re forever in our hearts. We love you more today than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow.
