Kelly Donahue Obituary

Kelly Patricia Donahue August 11, 1983 - May 17, 2003 Our angel has her wings now. Her disabilities caused her to struggle in many ways, but her exuberance, energy, and inner strength shone through to all who crossed her path in life. Kelly taught us many things in her short life, not the least of which are courage, patience, unconditional love, and compassion for others. She had the benefit of many people who cared very much for her. We want to thank everyone who helped Kelly over the years to grow and learn. These 'angels on earth' now have their own angel in heaven. Kelly joins her Grandparents, Raymond and Patricia Donahue, her Aunt Noel Donahue and her Uncle Mark Donahue. Those of us remaining her on earth, her parents Raymond and Sharri Donahue, her sister Sarah Donahue, her Grandparents Hal & Sharon Young her Aunts and Uncles, Chris & Evelyn Young, Scott & Vivian Young, Wendy & Terry Sherrill, Debbie Donahue Mac, Stephen Donahue, Philip Donahue, and all her cousins and extended family will miss her very much. A graveside service will be held at 11:00 a.m., Thursday, May 22, 2003 at Assumption Cemetery, 1380 Fitzgerald Road, Simi Valley, CA. In lieu of flowers please send donations to Tri Counties Regional Center Help Fund, 520 E. Montecito Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93103.
