Obituary for Martha Ann Donhoff
Martha Ann Donoff, 88, passed into God’s open arms on January 11, 2020 at Nazareth Home, Clifton.
Born in Louisville, Kentucky on May 22, 1931 Martha Ann was a proud graduate of Ursuline Academy, and Catherine Spalding College where she earned both her undergraduate and graduate degrees in education.
