Obituary of Dr Laurie J. Donohue

Laurie left our world too soon on Oct. 24, 2024 after a brave stand against an interstitial lung disease. Laurie’s life force was her wife of 30 years, Maureen Servas and their son Samrin Servas-Donohue along with their beloved dogs and cats. She was enveloped in an incredible circle of love including her sister Janet (Dave) Durocher, brothers Jack (Rita) Donohue and Dan Donohue, countless in-laws, many nieces and nephews, friends colleagues, and a chosen family that have fed and cared for every aspect of her life.

Laurie was proudly a family doctor who cared for generations of families through her career first at Woodward Health Center, Brown Square Health Center and finally Anthony Jordan Health Center where she served as Chief Medical Officer until her retirement in 2022.

She was fiercely devoted to people who were underserved, overlooked and marginalized.This was her purpose in life and in her singular, small way it was her attempt at righting the injustice that exists in our world.

Laurie loved nature and the ocean so as part of her Celebration of Life please bring a small container of water from a source that is either meaningful to you or is from your home which draws from your local water table to add to a common bowl.

Her family will receive friends Saturday, November 2, 2024, 1-4pm at the funeral home (570 Kings Highway So.). Friends are invited to meet the family Sunday, November 3, 2024, 3:00 pm at Spiritus Christi Church for her Celebration of Life. In lieu of flowers please honor Laurie with a donation to any charity of your choice that speaks to her care for those less fortunate or her love of animals.
