Suzanne Yvette Donah, 77, of Nashua, passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 15, 2025, at the Community Hospice House in Merrimack, NH, surrounded by her loving family. Born on April 19, 1947, in Lowell, MA, Suzanne was the cherished daughter of Wilfred and Pauline (Boissonneault) Ayotte. She grew up in a loving household and graduated from Keith Hall in Lowell. She was the beloved wife of Robert Donah, sharing 56 wonderful years of marriage.
Suzanne dedicated much of her career to helping others, most notably working as a credential representative at Matthew Thornton. Later in life, she enjoyed her time working with babies at Buy Buy Baby, where her nurturing spirit truly shone.
Suzanne was always full of life, and her love for these hobbies brought joy to many. She loved dancing and bowling. Lilacs were her favorite flower, their fragrance always reminding those close to her of her beauty and grace. Suzanne had a fondness for getting dressed up, always making an effort to look her best, especially at family gatherings, which she deeply cherished. Her love for family was paramount, and Suzanne's warmth and kindness touched everyone she met. Her laughter and generous heart will be remembered by all who knew her.
In addition to her husband Robert, Sue is survived by her children Craig Donah and his wife Susie of Yonkers, NY, Keith Donah and his wife Jeannine of Hillsborough, NH, and Curt Donah and his wife Audrey of Concord, NH; her three grandchildren Nathan Donah, Kimberly Donah, and Cody Humphreys; her two brothers Richard Ayotte and his wife Denise of Dracut, and Ronald Ayotte and his partner Sabina Barresi; as well as many nieces and nephews.
Family and friends are invited to Sue’s visitation on THURSDAY, March 20th from 4 until 7 PM at ROCHETTE FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICES, 21 Kinsley Street, Nashua. Her burial will take place at a later date at the NH Veteran’s Cemetery, Boscawen.
