Donna Monroe Boretos

W. Boretos. Devoted mother of her daughter Christina L. Boretos. Loving sister of

Ronald S. Monroe. Loving fur-momma her very special cat Trouble. She was

predeceased by her parents O.S. Monroe and Orella Baker Monroe.

Donna was a 1957 graduate of Rutland High School and a 1960 graduate of the

Mary Fletcher School of Nursing. Throughout the years she has maintained

strong friendships with many of her schoolmates… without the use of social

media!

On March 25, 1961 she wed James W. Boretos in a ceremony at the United

Methodist Church in Rutland Vermont. They were married for 43 years until his

untimely death in 2004. During those years they lived in Vermont, New York, and

Maryland making new friends along the way. She worked as a nurse in all those

locations until she and Jim had an opportunity to take work trips. They loved

travel and were able to enjoy many leisure trips both domestic and international.

Ireland was a favorite destination as was anyplace that they traveled to with

George and Charlene Boretos.

She also enjoyed gardening, chocolate, needlework, chocolate, reading, more

chocolate and spending time with family and friends. She grew up in the

Methodist church and was very active in her youth and continued her

membership supporting various missions until her death.

In recent years her health began to decline but she still enjoyed a visit to

Vermont each year. She loved reunions, both school and family, and is

undoubtedly annoyed that she will miss the Baker Family reunion next summer.

Being there in spirit just isn’t the same.

Family will receive friends at Witzke Funeral Homes, Inc, 5555 Twin Knolls Rd,

Columbia, MD 21045 on Friday, December 31, 2021 from 1 to 4pm, where a funeral
