Barbara (Morrissey) Donnelly, Age 89 of Watertown, passed away on Wednesday September 3, 2025. Beloved wife of 62 years to the late Paul Donnelly. Loving mother of Anne Donnelly and Paul Donnelly, Jr. Dear sister to Richard Morrissey & his wife Helen and Jane Almquist.
Barbara, a retired Registered Nurse, lived a life filled with care, joy, and cherished memories. In retirement, she enjoyed spending her winters at Glen Eagle Golf and Country Club in Naples, Florida, where she loved playing golf with her friends and creating memories that will be treasured forever. When not in Florida, Barbara could often be found at the beach with her family and friends. Walking the shoreline was her favorite pastime, a simple joy that brought her peace and happiness. Barbara’s warmth, kindness, and love for life will always be remembered by those who knew her.
