Mary Catherine “Mary Kae” Donohoe, 82, of Uhrichsville, passed away while surrounded by her loving family at the Community Hospice Truman House on Thursday, May 2, 2019, after a short battle with cancer. Born October 23, 1936 in Uhrichsville, she was the daughter of the late Orville Albert and Adeline Irene (Corredo) Heil.

Mary Kae was a 1954 graduate of St. Mary’s High School and a lifelong member of Immaculate Conception Church in Dennison where she was a faithful and active parishioner, having served in the Altar Society, the choir and as an Eucharistic Minister. She was employed for 42 years as the secretary at Tuscarawas Central Catholic High School and remained their strong supporter throughout her life. Mary Kae was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and homemaker who loved spending time with her family. She will be mourned not only by her family, whom she loved so much, but also by a wide circle of friends, having touched more lives than can be counted.
