Nancy Carol
Donahue
d. Sep 27, 2022
Nancy Carol (nee Largent) Donahue, age 89, of Mt. Clemens, passed away on September 27, 2022, at her daughter's home in Bridgeton, Mo.
She was born in December of 1932 to Jack and Delores Largent in East Detroit, & married John E. Donahue, Jr. in 1950; they moved to Mt. Clemens where they raised their three daughters, & were married 57 years before the passing of her beloved husband.
Nancy worked as an Administrative Assistant at the YMCA for 28 years where she created several programs to help those in need. She was active in the First United Methodist Church where she was a member for 70 years. She also helped with the Warming Center and distributed food to the homeless twice a week with her faithful friend Tochi.
Nancy was President of Mt Clemens Beautification, Vice President of the Clinton Grove Cemetery, and a member of the Mt Clemens Historical Commission, the Crocker House, and the Bicentennial Committee. She served on the Historic District Study Committee and the Affirmative Action Board of the city for several years: and was active in the March of Dimes and the United Way.
Nancy was elected the "Grand Dom" of the Daughters of Macomb in 2014, where she was a founding member, & in 2019, she received the "Local Treasure" award from the City of Mt. Clemens. One of her rules to live by was that you should do a good every day, and that it didn't count if you told anyone.
Nancy loved her family, her many friends, her church, her Eastman Street family, the color green, and coffee. She is survived by her children Sherry (Lannie) McRill of Grosse Pointe, Cindy Sue Donahue of Clinton Township, Georgie Donahue of Bridgeton, Mo., grandchildren Megan (Joseph) Schaden, Branden (Melissa Fuechtman) McRill, Courtney McRill, Adam (Nikki) Donahue, Amy (Sherwood) Farnham, Patrick (TJ) Young, & great-grandchildren Marnie, Indiana, Kylee, & August.
