Donna Trojanowski Froelich, age 62, passed away the morning of Saturday, February 13, 2010 at home. Donna was born October 12, 1947 in Bridgeport, CT. She graduated from Notre Dame High School in Fairfield CT. and Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, PA. She was a long term employee of the Gahanna-Jefferson School District, working at Lincoln Elementary and most recently at High Point Elementary. The help and support received from the High Point staff meant a great deal to her and her family. She was most proud of her children and the adults they have become. She also cherished the closeness of her lifelong friends from Connecticut and those she made while attending Duquesne University. She considered herself fortunate to have lived in the best neighborhood one could have picked in Gahanna, with a very close group of loyal and caring neighbors. The recent engagement of Stacey to Eric made her very happy. Donna’s happiest times were walking the beaches in Hilton Head and the long days of shelling on the Gulf Coast in Bonita Springs, FL.
