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 was born January 9, 1963 in Lorain, Ohio to Julia (nee: Segarra) and Camilo Gonzalez. A member of Sacred Heart Chapel, she graduated from Southview High School in 1981 and married Scot Donohue on June 5, 1999. Yolanda worked as a sales consultant for Value City Furniture for ten years.

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. The love from her extended family of six siblings and her many nieces and nephews were the center of her strength and happiness that she treasured every day. Yolanda's kindness and generosity knew no bounds and she was always willing to help anyone in need. Her energetic spirit and contagious laughter will live on in the hearts and memories of her family and friends.

Yolanda is survived by her husband, Scot Donohue; son, Eric Donohue; mother, Julia Gonzalez; sisters, Betsy Gonzalez, Nilsa Gonzalez Ward, Evelyn Gonzalez, Vivian Gonzalez and Leticia Gonzalez Mills; and brother, Jesus Gonzalez.

Yolanda is preceded in death by her father, Camilo Gonzalez; and brother, William Gonzalez.

Losing someone is always hard, but losing someone at such a young age makes things even more difficult. But the Bible tells us at Isaiah 26:19 " Your dead ones will live... they will rise up". This gives us hope that we will see our dead loved ones again. I hope this comforts you in your time of loss.
