Mrs. Yolanda Donohue

Lorain- Yolanda Donohue (nee: Gonzalez), age 50, passed away Sunday, September 29, 2013 after a courageous battle with cancer. She was surrounded by her loving family.

Yolanda's greatest joy was being a devoted wife and mother. Her life revolved around creating a loving and nurturing environment for her son, something she was determined to provide until the very end.

Her energetic spirit and contagious laughter will live on in the hearts and memories of her family and friends.
