STOUGHTON - Donald “Mac” McHugh, passed away on Tuesday, Dec. 12, 2023, at UW Health Rehabilitation Hospital in Madison. He was born on Dec. 31, 1948, in Fond du Lac, Wis.

Mac graduated from Chilton High School in 1967 and the University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh. He married the love of his life, LouAnn Pattermann, in Hilbert, Wis., and they were together for 49 years.

Mac was a beloved teacher at River Bluff Middle School, where he left lasting impressions on the Stoughton Community.

Mac loved watching the Green Bay Packers, Brewers and Badgers. He also enjoyed playing golf, softball, bowling and several high school and college sports, where he still holds many records.
