She moved from the Bronx at a young age to New Haven where she resided until recent years. Nancy graduated from St. Francis School, attended Fair Haven Junior High School and graduated from Wilbur Cross High School in 1952. She worked for many years at the United Illuminating Company until her marriage to Paul Falsey in 1966. She was a parishioner of St. Mary’s Church and was a daily communicant there for many years. Although she left the Bronx as a young child, she remained an avid NY Yankees fan and loved trips to New York City. Nancy also enjoyed many happy summers with her family and friends in Branford and was a long time member of the Pine Orchard Yacht and Country Club. Nancy was predeceased by her husband, Paul J.

Donohue, Jr. She is also survived by her nephews, James, Brian and Kevin Donohue and niece, Eileen Donohue Kenney. Nancy’s most cherished role in life was that of beloved grandmother to Caroline Ann Lawlor and Kevin Falsey Lawlor both of North Haven. She loved them dearly. Nancy, affectionately called “Cluckie” by Caroline and Kevin, was a daily presence in their lives and left them with countless happy memories of her time shared with each of them and her grand-dog, Finn.
