She was a graduate of the Academy of Mount St. Ursula in the Bronx, and St. Vincent’s School of Nursing in New York. Early in her career, she worked at St. Vincent’s Hospital in NYC, and later became a nursing supervisor at a senior care facility in Fairfield. Donna was a loving, and exceptionally selfless person who was devoted to her family. She was her children’s biggest cheerleader. She enjoyed traveling with her family on adventurous and sometimes crazy family vacations. She was an avid book reader, enjoyed cross word puzzles, & games. She was a loving grandmother who showered her grandchildren with lots of love and always sent Hallmark cards and treats for every occasion. She often liked to surprise them with candy, lollipops, little toys or a trip for ice cream. Donna’s stories about her life, growing up and raising her children were always entertaining. She could make you feel like you were part of whatever story she told.
She loved her family unconditionally and made everyone around her feel loved. She will be greatly missed.
