Proctor Family Loses a Mom

Northborough resident Christine Donohoe passed away yesterday after battling an inoperable brain tumor. She leaves behind a husband and two young children. 

In a memo sent to the families of the Fannie E. Proctor School, Principal Margaret E. Donohoe, wrote:

"Many of you have kept the Donohoe family in your thoughts and prayers guided by the Care Pages’ updates that have been sent out periodically by the family regarding Christine’s condition. We learned today that Christine Donohoe died peacefully in her sleep. Christine experienced a very challenging medical and emotional journey as she struggled with the diagnosis that her brain tumor could no longer be treated. 

Christine was a wonderful, devoted mother who loved and cared deeply for her husband, Sean, and their two children, Alicia in grade 5 and Colleen who will be in our incoming kindergarten class. Our sincerest condolences are extended to the entire Donohoe family and their friends.  Christine will certainly be missed by everyone in our Proctor School community.

 The Donohoe family will appreciate your continued thoughts and prayers during this most challenging time.  You may want to think of a saying attributed to Helen Keller, “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.  They must be felt within the heart.”  Savor each moment that you have with your loved ones.

If you or anyone in your family would like to speak with Monique Cloutier, our School Psychologist, or someone else here at our school, please feel free to make contact via Email since the school office is closed this week due to the vacation.  Monique’s email address is mcloutier@nsboro.k12.ma.us.  She will arrange a mutually convenient time to speak with you."
