Mary Sullivan Donath

Eric was a dear friend and classmate at RBC, and I remember his lovely mother very well.

She will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Aunt Mary was a remarkable women who had an amazing understanding of faith in God and in the value of family. The time she spent with our family in California left us with great memories of laughter ,songs & comfort. The kids (now adults)still talk a about the Tea Parties with Aunt Mary "Donut "& Grandma!

The Sullivan/McHugh constellation is now complete. Bright Shinning Stars & Singing "Hail Hail the Gangs all Here! You know the party has begun & the Irish eyes are definately...

And they're all up there singing "When Irish Eyes are Smiling"! She was an amazing woman and will be missed dearly.

Mary was the last of a great group of people I have know since I was very young. She, my mother-in-law Elizabeth and Kate always seemed to be going on great adventures traveling all over the country. I will miss her dearly.

Thank you Reenie for such a wonderful tribute to Aunt Mary. She touched all of our lives in many ways. I am so glad I was able to visit with her a few years ago at Mary T.'s when Marilyn and I made a trip to the East Coast. I remeber the weeks she spent with us comfortin and singing songs to my mother in her final days. She was a part of our family's lives during our early years here in California. All of the little kids (not so little any more)called her Aunt Mary "Donuts" and still think...

Heartfelt condolences from Eileen Fitzsimmons and family, in Basking Ridge NJ, including children Kathleen, Jim, Eileen, Patrick, Maureen and Mary Kate.

As a former high school team mate and classmate of Eric, please know that I will pray for Mary's soul and for all of her surviving family members.

May she rest in the hands of the Lord.

Reenie's poem does justice to Aunt Mary's wanderlust and love of family. Thanks Reenie. Aunt Mary was truly a woman of great energy and determination. She made the best of every day God gave her. She was the last of the siblings left on earth and has now joined Kate, Billy, Bonnie and Marie and of course Charlie, Phil, Marion, Paul and Jean - what a family group they made!! So the gang is together again in heaven - let the party begin.

Mary, Mary how does your garden grow
with love, laughter and 'cash flow'
A little (?)stubborn, could she be
Of course not, not our Mary!
Missed by all she will surely be
But oh the memories, she has left for you and me.
Meals always had a sweet dessert for sure,
And our love for her will always endure.
The phone calls to check where her car was headed this time-
And if you asked 'How are you?' She would answer 'oh, I'm just fine' -
A'little...
