Roxann (St. Amand) Donahue

WATERVILLE – Roxann (St. Amand) Donahue, 71, has died. She is survived by her husband, John Donahue, of Waterville; daughter, Sofia Chase, son-in-law George Chase, and beloved granddaughter, Eliza Chase, of Edgecomb; daughter, Katrina Chasse, and her life partner, Ben Dow, of Winslow.

Her life was filled with joy: sharing laughter and good food with family and friends; happy times at Sibley Pond; Scrabble marathons; the blessed companionship of yoga and dance students; making art and music; dancing until she was all danced out. Throughout her illness, she found a way to keep dancing. Heartfelt thanks to the medical professionals who bought us precious time, especially David Adler, M.D. and his outstanding Oncology team at Harold Alfond Cancer Care Center, and Stephanie Bartholomew, M.D. – beloved and steadfast PCP for 18 years.

Roxann’s family will hold a private celebration of her life.
