Donna was my neighbor and the friendliest and strongest woman I knew. Even while battling, she always had time to check on other neighbors and ask how we were doing. She was an incredible woman and will be missed. My heart goes out to her family. I pray her memory will bring them comfort and strength.

To the Lodi Family. I am so sorry for your loss. I met Donna first at St. John the Baptist School where my daughter and Jaclyn attended. Later on we met again when Jaclyn came to Our Lady Of Victory High School Academy. Donna was always eager to help out at all the functions. I throughly enjoyed spending time with her. May she R.I.P.

Donna was a loving, considerate and very special person to so many at Our Lady of Victory Academy, especially the students and faculty. To me she was not only a co-worker, she was a friend and companion in good times and hard times. Know she remains in my heart and prayers.

I met Donna in 1987 when our daughters were in pre k together. She was a lovely person and was always involved in school activities. I remember her down at Cook field watching the girls play softball. Her father would carry her on his back. My prayers to Ronnie, Jacklyn and Andrea and also her mom and sisters. Sincerely Margaret Stanley

I was very blessed when Donna joined me in the office at Good Counsel Academy H.S. We became fast friends and enjoyed being together every day.
We always had so much to talk about and laughed often. Donna's warm personality and beautiful smile offered a welcoming presence to all in our GCA community. Donna loved your family so much and was always anxious to share with me the happy times you spent together, especially with her four loving grandchildren. You were all so special to her. I am grateful for the many happy memories I have of my dear friend, Donna. May Donna Rest in Peace.
My prayers and heartfelt sympathy.

Jackie, Andrea and Ron:
Please accept my love and prayers for you all on the loss of your amazing Mom! She was one of a kind, and very much the center of peace and calm amidst the chaos of our school. I looked forward to her smile every morning at the front counter, and the understanding that though she was the biggest Yankee fan, I loved her anyway!!!
I hope you find peace in your memories of her. She was a special woman.
Sending hugs...

My thoughts and prayers to the Lodi family on the loss of Donna. I worked with Donna at OLVA and she was my lunch buddy. Donna was loved by everyone and was a favorite of the students, who would sometimes drop by just to say hello. A thoughtful, kind and generous person . May she Rest In Peace.
To her daughters, I can’t tell you how many lunch hours we spent just talking about her girls and how proud she was of you.
