Donald M. Dwyer

Our beloved father Donald Dwyer passed away on 2/23/2023 at the age of 89. He is survived by his large family of 10 children, 15 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren who will all miss him dearly. He is also survived by his loving sister Patricia. His wife Ronnie of 49 years, passed away just over a year ago.

Donald was born in Yonkers, NY and lived in Congers for most of his adult life. He served in the Untied States Air Force during the Korean war. He worked for the Nabisco company for over 34 years, from which he made countless lifelong friends and from which he retired. Donald loved family events, celebrations, and gatherings of all kinds. He attended countless sporting events, dance recitals, many graduations, and parties of all sorts.

Donald’s soul mate was his wife Ronnie, and they are now joyfully reunited. As a dedicated member of St. Paul’s church, Donald ran the food cupboard, there he instituted many successful measures to increase donations, distribute food and streamline processes. Thousands of people have benefited from his volunteering and leadership.

Donald’s family would like to express our particular appreciation for the unparalleled compassion and care provided by his dear friend, Jim Nash.
