Deepest sympathy to all of Rosemary's family and friends, especially John & Kate. I never met her but heard all about Rosemary from my sisters, brothers and my own family and they always spoke about her in glowing terms. May she rest in peace and may the Good Lord look after her now and for all of Eternity. May you too be comforted by those around you and your own faith.

I want to convey my sincere condolences and sympathy to all the Donahue family. It was such a great joy working for her at Pet Life Foods. One of my fondest memories of Rosemary is when she gave me such a hug when we stood at the end of a newly placed biscuit production line and watched the operation for its first production.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

It is with great sadness that I hear of the passing of Rosemary Donahue. I was one of those female athletes in the late 70's early 80's who benefitted from the many articles written by her. I am a Hillcrest grad who still remembers her coming to my house in 1981 to do an article about me for "Player of the Year." We would get the paper every day to see what Rosemary Donahue would write -- and she made us realize that as women we could do and accomplish any thing we put our minds to. What a wonderful woman and role model!
Thank you Rosemary Donahue -- you made my high school years more complete and I appreciate all you did for girls in sports.
