Edna “Eddie” Mae Donohue was born May 20, 1924 and passed away on Oct. 24, 2007.
Eddie went home to be with her Lord following six months of declining health. She ultimately succumbed to congestive heart failure.
She was born Edna Mae Bratcher in Olaton, Kentucky on May 20, 1924 to Lucian and Addie (Decker) Bratcher. She moved to Shereville, Indiana where she met and married Matthew A. Donohue on Oct. 12, 1941. Matt and Edna moved to Washington and together had seven children.
Her five remaining children and many of her grandchildren were at her side in the hours prior to her passing.
Eddie leaves behind daughters, Fran Powell, Snohomish; Pixie (Brad) Wagner, Casa Grande, AZ; sons, Roland (Jane), Marysville; Matthew (Lynnore), Snohomish, and Melvin (Carole), Stanwood; 16 grandchildren, 32 great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren. She also leaves behind two sisters, Frieda Faught and Christine Ruesken of Indiana; and many loved, distant relatives.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Lucian and Addie Bratcher; beloved husband Matthew Donohue; two daughters, Marilyn Fischer and Dolly Peterson; son-in-law, Ray Powell and grandson, James Fischer.
Eddie lived her life with courage and passion. She never met a stranger and to know her was to love her. She lived the scripture “In everything give thanks for this is the will of God Christ Jesus concerning you.” II Thessalonians 5:18. We miss her dearly.
A graveside service will be held at 11 a.m., Saturday, May 10, Pastor Greg Knox officiating at the Mountain View Park cemetery in Colville. Friends are invited to attend.
