Robert Donohue

With a heart full of charisma and a spirit that sparkled, Robert 'Bob' C. Donohue was a beacon of joy and support to all who had the pleasure of knowing him. Bob passed away on Monday, July 24, 2023 at Sturdy Memorial Hospital, Attleboro.

Born in Chelsea, MA on December 14th, 1945, Bob was a longtime resident of North Attleboro where he spent his life touching the hearts of many with his wit and charm. He was a devoted salesman, working for International Paper for 40 years, selling fine paper and then giving his expertise to Pella Windows before retirement. His passion extended beyond his work to the golf course, his travels, and evenings spent playing cards. His sociable nature and humorous anecdotes made him the life of every gathering.

Bob is lovingly remembered by his family; longtime partner, Mary Daniels of North Attleboro, daughters Kelly (Matt) Connor of Plainville and Robin (James) Reibeling of Hebron, CT and his former wife, Ann (Quigley) Donohue. He was a doting grandfather to William, Jorie, and Riley Connor all of Plainville, Molly, Ryan, and Lauren Reibeling all of Hebron, CT. Bob is also survived by his sister Nancy (David) Hause and brothers Dan and Ted Donohue, five nieces and three nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents Edward and Mary Donohue, and brother Richard Donohue. As Maya Angelou once said, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." In Robert’s case, he made everyone feel loved, supported, and endlessly entertained.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held in his honor on Friday, July 28th, 2023 at 10:30 am at Saint Martha’s Church, 227 South Street, Plainville. Burial will take place at a later date. There will not be a funeral procession the morning of the Mass from the funeral home to the church.
Visitation respectfully omitted.
