(Research):Anne Virginia "Sam" Donohue, 88, died Saturday, Nov. 15, 2008, in Tallahassee, Fla. A Mass of Christian Burial will be at 11 a.m. EST Wednesday, Nov. 19, at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, with burial at Roselawn Cemetery. Visitation will be from 6 to 8 p.m. EST today, Nov. 18, at Bevis Funeral Home of Tallahassee, with Rosary said at 7 p.m. (850-385-2193, www.bev isfh.com ). Anne Virginia Donohue was born Anne Sickel on June 28, 1920, to Edward and Josephine in Chicago, Ill. Anne married John W. Donohue after his graduation from Notre Dame, Class of '40. After high school, Anne attended Burroughs Business School in Chicago, where she subsequently operated one of the first Burroughs billing machines. Life as a U.S. Air Force officer's wife and mother carried Anne all over the world. Early in their journeys, Anne and John were stationed in Anchorage, Alaska, with their first child, Joyce Marie, born in Chicago. After a move to Sacramento, Calif., a middle child, Terrence John, was born. While John flew 50 missions during World War II, Anne kept the home fires burning in grand fashion. A consummate gourmet, her culinary talents were renowned. While stationed at various Air Force S.A.C. bases, Anne started three Officer Wives Club newspapers: one in Wichita, Kan.; one in Montgomery, Ala., where her third child, Denise Anne, was born; and the Pease n Ques at Pease A.F.B. in Dover, N.H. Her home at Dover Point was likely her most favorite and treasured memory of duty stations. Anne loved to climb aboard Charlie Currier's yacht and cruise 10 miles off the coast to the Isle of Shoals, where a visit to the lighthouse and the cemetery was always made. There an inscription read, "As you are now, so once was I. As I am now, so you shall be. So as you pass, please think of me." As Anne followed her husband's 28-year Air Force career with her "Three Bears" in tow, they settled in Tallahassee in 1970. At age 66 Anne signed on with the United States Geological Survey in Tallahassee. There she was a GS3, the Gal Friday for an office of 60. A retirement party was planned after 18 years with USGS just a day before her 84th birthday. Anne fell ill and was not able to make her last week at work. Her failing health kept her from her very active life since then. Anne will be missed greatly by all her friends and family. Still her memory can only conjure thoughts of her ever-present wit. She would likely stave off any sorrow with a joking quip encouraging us to remember her well and go on to live our lives to the fullest with best intentions for all. Certainly kind thoughts and warm wishes will be flowing forever from all the wonderful friends Anne endeared herself to over her 88 years as a giving mother and caring friend to all. Anne is survived by her three children, Joyce, Terry and Denise; also by two grandchildren, Kristan and Wil; and two great-grandchildren, Justice and Kinslie Anne. Anne's love of animals was well-known. In lieu of flowers, a contribution to Best Friends Animal Society, 5001 Angel Canyon Rd., Kanab, Utah 84741, or to the Big Bend Hospice, 1723 Mahan Center Blvd., Tallahassee, FL 32308, would be greatly appreciated. "We love you mom. You're always in our prayers."
