<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="color:black">With great sadness and appreciation, we are sharing the obituary of Sally Donovan. Her contribution to the preservation of Oregon’s historic places, especially
cemeteries, is invaluable. She will be missed. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:16.2pt">
<span class="s2"><span style="color:black">Sally Donovan lived a life of devotion and determination. Her devotion was to the people whose lives she touched, to the history she discovered and preserved, and to the world’s forgotten cats and kittens. Her determination
made her see everything she did—no matter how hard—through to its conclusion. She was as beautiful and kind, as she was Nebraska stubborn. And she was persistently Irish in her love of family, friends, and fun. Sally made us all better people.</span></span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:16.2pt">
<span class="bumpedfont15"><span style="color:black">Sally was born on April 16, 1956 to Adele (Cheek) and William Donovan, Jr. in Omaha, Nebraska. She graduated from Westside High School and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln
in 1979. She worked as a cartographer, graphic artist, photographer, and technical illustrator. She then moved to Eugene, where she graduated with a Master’s Degree from the University of Oregon’s historic preservation program in 1987.</span></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;line-height:16.2pt">
<span class="bumpedfont15"><span style="color:black">A year later while living in Portland, Sally worked in Hood River to inventory downtown historic properties. It was then that she fell in love with the valley and bought a 1913 house on the Heights. Her
sensitive restoration of the house included a 1931 electric refrigerator and stove still in daily use. After she began her historic preservation consulting business, Donovan & Associates, she worked on a wide array of projects, including Oregon Coast lighthouses,
historic districts, public buildings, residences, irrigation canals, wooden flumes, and pioneer cemeteries. Searching the Library of Congress’s online collection, Sally’s name yields 261 photographs taken during her career. In March 2016, her professional
peers honored Sally with the Oregon Heritage Excellence Award, and May 2016, with the George McMath Historic Preservation Award.</span></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span class="bumpedfont15"><span style="color:black">Beyond her career, Sally helped organize an all volunteer, nonprofit cat rescue organization. She was a veritable Pied Piper whose love for animals drew many abandoned, neglected and rescued felines to her. Memorial
donations may be made in her name to Columbia Gorge Cat Rescue on line at </span></span><span style="color:black"><a href="http://www.gorgecat.org/"><span class="bumpedfont15"><span style="color:blue;text-decoration:none">http://www.gorgecat.org/</span></span></a><span class="bumpedfont15">, or

<span class="s2"><span style="color:black">Sally died peacefully in her home in Hood River of pancreatic cancer on November 19, 2017. She </span></span><span class="bumpedfont15"><span style="color:black">is remembered and dearly missed by her husband of 22
years Bruce Howard, two brothers Bill (Alba Conte)and Rob Donovan (Jake Wade), sister Nancy Donovan (Bruce Boyd) and four nieces, Adrienne (Brian Haug), Caroline Donovan-Boyd, Lindsey Donovan and Emily (Donovan) and Greg Maconchy; nephew Brad Donovan, two
great nephews, Louie and Clive Haug, and goddaughter McKenna Walbridge. Also, her husband’s four siblings Helon Howard, Hope Redmond, Heidi Noyes and Dwight Howard and their husbands and children were important focus in her life. </span></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
