Kathy Renae Donegan July 11, 1957 - March 3, 2023 Kathy “Renae” Donegan, 65, of Bassfield, MS, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her loved ones on Friday, March 3, 2023. Renae was born in Prentiss, MS and was raised on the gulf coast of Mississippi. There she met her husband, Keith Donegan and were married in August of 1976. They had a loving marriage of forty-six years and raised two wonderful daughters. Spending most of her time as a devoted wife, mother and grandmother, Renae also enjoyed working at the Jeff Davis County libraries for the past twelve years. With her love and knowledge of books, she fit right in and made some really good friends. From playing cards, Mardi Gras parades, annual beach trips, watching football and anything else in between, Renae just loved spending time with her family, friends and being the very best Mawmaw to her three grandkids. Renae was preceded in death by her parents, Rebecca Robinson and Leland Robinson; her sisters, Denise Whinery and Tammy Esquivel and her brother, Curtis Borger. She is survived by her loving, devoted husband, Keith Donegan; her daughters, Jodi (Dayna) Hall and Tracy (Darien) Donegan, her grandchildren, Kellen and Kamryn Hall and Holly Brown, all of Hattiesburg, MS; and a host of other family members and friends. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that you please consider donating to the Renae Donegan Reading Fund for the Bassfield Library. This fund was set up by family and friends to keep her legacy of loving to read going on and on for decades to come.
