Donna Tripp Reale

Donna T. Reale, 87, passed away at home on October 12, 2025. She was born on November 12, 1937, in Niagara Falls, New York, to Ida (Vincent) and George Tripp. Donna lived a full and vibrant life that took her from upstate New York to Connecticut and, in her later years, to The Villages, Florida.

Donna shared 67 wonderful years of marriage with Louis Reale. She was a proud and loving mother to Matt and Paula, and a cherished grandmother to Tina, Scott, Aleece Reale, Sydney Venton (Pereira), and Jacob Pereira.

A proud graduate of Royalton-Hartland High School, Donna went on to build a rewarding career as a Human Resources Manager at Whitnon Spindle in Connecticut, where she worked for more than 20 years before retiring to Florida with her husband, Louis.

Donna’s joy for life was infectious. She loved to play the piano, tap dance, sing, golf, and fill every room with laughter. Whether hosting a gathering or simply spending time with family, she was always the life of the party—her warmth, humor, and generous spirit touched everyone who knew her.

She will be remembered for her boundless energy, her love of music and laughter, and the way she made every day brighter for those around her. Donna’s spirit lives on in the hearts of her family and friends who loved her dearly.

At Donna’s request, there will be no services.
