Donna Louise Carboni

She was born in Denver, Colorado to John and Evelyn Galli. She is preceded in death by her father, John Galli.

Donna graduated from Colorado State University and worked in the Interior design and commercial flooring industries before moving to Kansas City, MO. She later assisted her husband, Steve, in the family business at Shupe-Carboni and Associates. She attended Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, Kansas.

Donna enjoyed playing golf with her friends at Council Fire, but what she enjoyed more than anything was spending time with her family, especially her grandkids. She loved to travel with her husband, but her favorite place was their condominium in Kansas City, Missouri where she could spend time with her family.

Donna’s light shined on everyone she met. She was able to find Hope and Joy in every situation she encountered and had the unique ability to lift up others. In every aspect of her life she defined Grace and Style.

Survivors include her loving husband of 25 years, Steve Carboni; children, Lauren (Chris) Dawson, Chad (Katie) Pederson; step-children, Karen Carboni, Lyndie (Jon) Kuelz, Joe (Chelsea) Carboni; 9 grandchildren, Will, Claire and Gavin Dawson, Blake and Elliott Pederson, Oscar and Beatrice Kuelz, Salem and Felix Carboni; mother, Evelyn Galli; and sister, Phyllis Loftsgard.

A memorial service will be held at 11:00 am on Tuesday, December 12, 2023 at the Church of Resurrection, 13720 Roe Ave, Leawood, Kansas 66224 with pastor Lydia Kim officiating.

A celebration of Donna’s life will be held in Chattanooga, Tennessee at a later date.
