Margaret Donius Obituary
Maggie loved to have a good time with friends, travel, and to be in nature and around animals- especially her two rescued cats Molly and Missy. Maggie, with her soft heart of compassion for animals always asked to rescue the cat that had been there the longest. She was a natural with golf, a great bowler and enjoyed playing in a league with her girlfriends. Maggie, with her passionate spirit, was a seeker of knowledge. She had a talent and love for research and enjoyed sharing her truths. She will be remembered for her strength, determination, and leadership. Maggie was always fun to have around with her easy laugh, quick wit, and could always be counted on to 'tell it like it is'. She held dear her alma mater, Notre Dame, and the memories and friends she made there.
Honoring Maggie's generous wishes, her final act was to donate her corneas.
Maggie is survived by her parents, Kenneth and Rose Ann Donius of Romeo, MI, brother Jeff Donius of Leonard, MI, and sister Amy (Rich) Williams of Washington Twp, MI, as well as, nephew, Zack (Janie) Williams and niece Rachel (Devin) Williams, great nephews Jack Thomas and Grayson Cole.
A celebration of life will take place at Blake's Orchard in Armada MI on May 5, 2023 at 5pm. Everyone is welcome. Please text an RSVP to 586.876.4166
In lieu of flowers, Maggie's favorite charities were www.sharetanzania.co.uk and www.heifer.org and www.marl.org

My deepest condolences to the Donius family. Maggie and I were great friends and had so many laughs together. she was so fun to be around. We lived in the same building on Clark st for years. Going to street feasts, restaurants, or just hanging out with her, so much fun and laughter. I miss those days and I miss Maggie. Save me a seat up there!

My very deepest sympathies to the Donius family. I knew Maggie when we were very young on Rossiter in Detroit. Visited her a few times after she moved to Romeo. We were 6-8 yrs old? I was reading a book on the friends we have in life, even from an early age, which prompted me to look on Facebook for Maggie. I'm so sorry to read of her passing. May Christ comfort all of her family and friends.
