Born on April 1945, Donna built a life centered around love, compassion, and quiet strength. Since settling in Scituate in 1978, she became a familiar and cherished presence in town. She was an active member of the First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church of Scituate, where she found joy and purpose through community involvement and service.
Donna was a passionate gardener who found peace and creativity in nurturing plants and creating beauty around her home. In recent years, she discovered a new love for pickleball, cherished her friendships deeply and never missed a chance to lend a helping hand or share a thoughtful word.
She is survived by her four loving children and their families: Dawn Brindley-Howe and husband Spencer, Scott Brindley, Erin Lynn Kelley and husband Mark, and Sean Brindley and wife Lauren; her cherished grandchildren Heather, Diana, Iyslen, and Logan. Her life was rooted in family, and she carried her role as a mother with enduring grace, humor, and unconditional love.
Donna will be remembered for her warm heart, her enduring curiosity, and the quiet yet profound impact she had on everyone she met. Her legacy lives on in the garden she cultivated, the community she served, and the family who loved her dearly.
Private service was held July 23, 2025 with interment at Sadawga Cemetery Whitingham Vermont.
