Colleen Anne-Bury Donahue of Washington Twp, MI passed peacefully at her home on Sept 27th, 2025 at the age of 61. She was the beloved Mother of Audrey Bury (Josh Zimmerman). She is survived by her daughter, siblings Vickii (John) Scurti, Kevin (Laurie) Donahue, Kimberly (Frans) Nijhof, and Tamara (Pascal) Prevost and friends Diana and Kelly. She is also survived by 6 nieces & Nephews Sarah, Joseph, Matthew, Thomas, Joshua, and Alice, great-niece and nephew Macy and Carter, and a host of loving cousins. She was proceeded in death by her parents Glen and Carolyn Donahue.

Colleen worked in human services for much of her life, caring for others. She enjoyed watching basketball, football, Law & Order SVU and Dance Moms. She also enjoyed caring for her grand-cats. Her selflessness extended to her faith, volunteering at church and school functions often. She was passionate about finding the best deals on the clearance rack or at garage sales, and she couldn't wait to travel to Paris and beyond.
