With Much Sadness we mourn the passing of our beloved President. Cheryl Donahoo
Cheryl Rae Sellers Donahoo went to heaven on Jan. 2, 2026. She always insisted however, that when she died, she was going to Mayberry! She will be buried at the Odd Fellows Cemetery in Myrtle Creek, near her grandmother. She was past Honored Queen of Bethel 18, Job’s Daughters, in Myrtle Creek. Organist of St. Anne’s Episcopal Church in Myrtle Creek and graduated nurses training in 1967.
Cheryl had two children Trina Person (deceased) and Kevin Donahoo. She served as president of the Umpqua Valley Humane Society for 37 years. She was the founding member of the Saving Grace Pet Adoption Center, and received humanitarian awards from the Lewis and Clark Law School, the Oregon State Police and Douglas County.
Cheryl enjoyed a peaceful life with her husband Dr. Stanley Donahoo until his passing in 2024. She passed away with her beloved dog Lexi by her side. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
In accordance with Cheryl’s wishes, there will be no funeral but in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Umpqua Valley Humane Society, PO Box 651, Wi******er, Oregon, 97495, or St. Jude’s Hospital for Children.
