Donna Donoghue Obituary

Donna Donoghue

Concord, NH - Donna Donoghue passed away peacefully at the age of 71 in the early morning hours of December 21, 2024, at The Birches in Concord, New Hampshire.

Donna is lovingly remembered by her children, Bill and Michael Donoghue; her siblings, Linda Day and Debbie Bean; and her grandchildren, Cayden, Hayley, Lucas, and Michael Donoghue Jr. She is also survived by many beloved nephews and cousins.

Donna was born on January 24, 1953 in Concord, NH to John and Mildred Wilson. She graduated from Hopkinton High School and spent most of her life living in Contoocook. She spent her entire professional career working for Concord Group Insurance in Concord, NH where she retired as Vice President of Human Resources.

When Donna became a proud grandparent, her role quickly became one of spoiling her grandchildren! Donna was a loving and dedicated mother, grandmother, sister, friend and so much more. She was generous, kind, independent and sassy! She will be so very missed by all those who knew her.

A Celebration of Life is scheduled for 1pm January 25 at The Red Blazer in Concord, NH. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Donna's life. The family would like to thank the caregivers and staff of The Birches in Concord for the love and care they provided Donna near the end of her life.

Donna was my neighbor for many years when our children were small. She was such a great Mom and had such patience. She was a great neighbor and a kind person. I´m so sorry to hear of her passing.
