Passed away on April 12, 2022, 3 days shy of her 85th birthday. Affectionately known to so many as "Doc's wife", Anne and Bill (her husband of 61 years), were inseparable. Together they built one of the first Orthopedic Sports Medicine practices in the country, working tirelessly, side by side for more than 50 years.

Survived by her children and grandchildren: Debbie (Mike) McNamara (Matt (Lacey), Sean (Cristina), Kylie); Denise Balogh (Nicke (Matt) Holderman); Dana (John) Bruce (Haley, Ian); Dan Donahue (Hayes, Cooper, Montana), Donna Donahue (Alex (Rob) Slone, J., Annie) and Duke (Tina) Donahue (Jackson); and 5 great-grandchildren.
