Mary Marguerite "Sissy" Donovan

My condolences to the family. Sissy was always a beautiful and elegant woman. A true role model. Her love for the arts shined brightly in her eyes and heart. She was a loving and giving woman with a true devotion to her husband.

Les & family. We are so sorry for your loss. We just found out about Sissy's passing and are very saddened. When we lived down the street from you, we saw her many times and also at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Your former neighbors, Paul, Barbara, Chelsea & Kayla Smet

Mr. Donovan and all,

I am so very sorry to find out about Mrs. Donovan's passing. She and you provided a second home for me, and I recall so many great memories of hanging around as a bothersome teen, yet I was unconditionally welcomed. She was gracious, giving, loving to all, and devoted to family, and her passing leaves a gap in so many lives. All my prayers go to you, Lisa, David, and Robert in this time of loss. May God bring comfort to you all.

David

My sympathy to you all. I remember Mary fondly. She was always patient, kind, and sweet to me as a neighborhood mom and carpool driver, chaperone to countless sleep-overs, and dinner hostess (I cannot forget the time she invited me to stay for dinner one time, and I asked what she was making to see if it was any better than what we were having at home...she gently chided me on manners!). Blessings to your family.

My brothers and sisters send our deepest condolences to the Donovan family. Les, we will always remember you and Sissy as the happy and loving couple from our earliest years. We are very saddened at your loss.

Sissy was the most elegant, classy person I have ever met. She radiated beauty and had such a love for life, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church, and family. She touched the hearts and lives of so many people. She truly was a Saint here on earth. Les you and the family are all in our prayers. God Bless, Jeff & Susan Irwin & Daughters

Les,
My heart goes out to you and your family at the loss of your sweet Sissy. It's been years since I last saw you, but I remember Sissy's quiet, graceful strength and the great love she had for you all. I will always remember the way you both always made me feel welcome in your home, and I will always be blessed in having known her. My sincerest condolences, Lorri "Haines" Willems
