Obituary
Barbara Lucille O'Donohue, 77, of
Lincoln, passed into Glory August 18, 2020 at home
surrounded by her loving family.
Cremation rites have been accorded by Holland Barry
& Bennett Funeral Home. Memorial services will be
held at a later date .
Barb was born September 26, 1942 in Chicago, IL.,
the daughter of Harry "Bud" and Lucille (Brogan)
Britton.
She was a member of Lincoln
Christian Church. Barb was a missionary with a
servant's heart, she loved people and was also an
avid animal lover. She had a strong faith and was a
devoted mom, grandma, and great grandma.
She was the founder and Executive
Director of COPE Ministry (Children of Pokot
Educational Fund) in Kenya, Africa. She spent the
last 20 years of her life dedicated to the physical
and spiritual betterment of that community. She was
a mentor, mother, director, teacher, soldier for
Christ, and friend. We are confident that she was
received into Heaven with open arms and heard the
words "well done good and faithful servant." |

Brian O'Donohue of Lincoln, and Todd (Cathy) O'Donohue of O'Fallon, MO.;
