Lora Donoghue

March 21, 1930 - March 1, 2008

HALTOM CITY -- Lora Mae Donoghue was a beautiful spirit which we lost on Saturday, March 1, 2008. Graveside service: 10 a.m. Monday in Bluebonnet Hills Cemetery, where she will be laid to rest next to her husband, Timothy. Visitation: The family will receive friends 5 to 7 p.m. Sunday at Lucas Funeral Home, 1321 Precinct Line Road in Hurst. She was someone who knew us better than we know ourselves and loved us unconditionally. Lora loved her family and friends and greeted us with a kiss and a hug so tight we couldn't believe the strength in it. She loved games, puzzles, books and Thanksgiving. We cannot hear the word "pie" and not chuckle because one of her pies would bring on a fight for the first piece every Thanksgiving. We will be forever thankful for our time with her. Lora Mae Donoghue was born March 21, 1930, in Tuttle, Okla., to Fred and Lora Bailey. She attended Birdville High School in Haltom City. In addition to her parents she was predeceased by her husband Timothy J. Donoghue; and her brothers, Robert, Harold and Johnny Bailey. Survivors: Her children and their spouses, Patricia and Edward Kittrell, Johnnie Herring, Freddie and Connie Herring, Shirley and Robert Walker, Ronnie Herring, T.J. and Susan Donoghue, Maureen and Scott Hardesty and Pat and Brenda Donoghue; many grandchildren and great-grandchildren; sisters and their spouses, Jennie and Billy Paul Wright, Norma and Clarence Steward; brother and sisters-in-laws, Dave and Alice Bowman, Joe and Artie Gannon and Billy and Tommy Donoghue; many nieces and nephews; and a host of dear friends.
