Barbara Donoho Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our mother, Barbara Austin Donoho, who left this world on October 6, 2025 at the age of 93.
Born on December 3, 1931 in San Antonio, Texas. Barbara was a source of strength, compassion, and unwavering love to all who knew her. She dedicated her life to her family, raising her children with grace and kindness. Her home was always a place of comfort, laughter, and delicious food, where everyone was welcome and deeply cared for.
Barbara faced life's challenges with courage and dignity. She was not only a devoted mother but a nurturing grandmother and great-grandmother who touched countless lives with her presence.
She is survived by her son, Michael (Niela) and daughter, Cindi (Ron), two grandchildren, McCall Donoho and Michael Giordano and two great-grandchildren, Logan and Spencer Giordano, who will continue to honor her legacy by living their lives with the love and integrity she exemplified every day.
Graveside services will be arranged at a later date.
Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing that her love will forever remain with us. She may be gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.
Rest in peace, Mom. We know you and Daddy are now together forever and happy. You were deeply loved, and you will be missed beyond words.
