Donahue John Joseph “Jack” Donahue, Jr. 89 years old Born: 1-6-1928 Deceased: 5-25-2017 Survived by his wife of 65 years, Ellen Marie “Eileen” Donahue [nee Duffy]; Daughters: Eileen Donahue; Denise Donahue Lister [Gerald]; and Maureen Donahue Gallagher [Kevin]. Son, John Joseph Donahue III, pre-deceased 1974.

Jack is also survived by his brother, Larry Donahue [Dorothy] and his sister, Jane Donahue Gallen. Jack worked for many years as a Salesman in the Semi-Conductor Industry. His travels took him throughout the United States and to Great Britain, Germany, France, Austria and Switzerland. After retirement, Jack and Eileen continued to travel throughout the United States and to several of the Caribbean Islands, Mexico, Great Britain, Ireland, and Europe. However, there was no place like their home of 49 years in Willow Grove, PA where they enjoyed entertaining and visiting with family and friends. Jack was a just and generous man. It was Jack’s wish that in lieu of flowers, monetary donations should be made to: Bishop McDevitt High School 125 Royal Ave Wyncote, PA 19095-1198 (215) 887-5575 www.mcdevitths.org Relatives and friends may visit with the family on Wednesday May 31, 2017 from 9-10:45 AM, and may celebrate his Funeral Mass at 11 AM, both at Immaculate Conception BVM Church at 602 West Ave. Jenkintown, PA 19046.
