Fort Edward

Patricia Anne Donahue, 89, of Center Street, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, September 28, 2018, at her home.

She was born in Albany, NY on August 4, 1929. She was the daughter of the late Joseph and Adeline (Richard) LeBlanc.

Pat was a graduate of Fort Edward High School.

On May 5, 1956, Pat married John D. Donahue at St. Joseph’s Church in Fort Edward with Rev. Kenneth Doyle officiating. They spent 58 years together until his passing in December of 2014.

She was a communicant of St. Joseph’s Church in Fort Edward.

Pat was a devoted mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, as well as “Grandma Pat,” to the many children she watched grow over the years. Her greatest pleasure was taking care of and spending time with her family. For many years, she enjoyed hosting gatherings after Sunday mass where friends and family shared laughs, memories, and a good home cooked meal.

Left to cherish her memories are her children Dennis Donahue and his wife, Heidii; John Donahue and his wife, Teri; James Donahue, Richard Donahue and his wife, Sally; Joseph Donahue and his wife, Antoinette; Ellen Scelzi and her husband, Michael; and Mary Williams and her husband, Jeffrey.
