Dawn Donohue Obituary
Dawn graduated from Colonel Richardson High School in 1972 and then obtained her nursing degree from Union Memorial Hospital. She later pursued her degree as a Nurse Practitioner. She practiced for many years at Johns Hopkins University of Maryland and after moving to Eastern Shore worked at Bebee Hospital.

Through the years she caned antique furniture, designed and made a lot of stain glass items for family members, and needle point. Her outdoor love for life was gardening, canning the produce that she had picked and canoeing.
