It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Donnalene (Merrill) MacDonald, 66, of Bridgewater on Tuesday, Oct. 25, 2022, after a long illness. 

She was born on March 6, 1956, in Portland, to Don and Elaine Merrill. She graduated from Windham High School. 

She enjoyed the many years that she volunteered at Casco Rescue. She loved her dogs and loved spending time with family and relatives, always up for an adventure, loved the outdoors and the holidays, especially “Holloween.” 

She will be remembered for her love of family and animals, especially elephants. 

She is survived by her husband, David MacDonald; her two children, Mathew and Jessica LeMay; her father, Donald Merrill; her sister, Laurette Barron; her brother, Donald Merrill; her grandchildren and great-grandson; and former husband, Robert LeMay.  

She was pre-deceased by her mother, Elaine Merrill. 

A memorial graveside service will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 5, 2022 at the Murch Cemetery in South Casco.  

In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made in Donnalene’s memory to an animal shelter of your choice.
