It is with profound sadness that we share the sudden passing of Donna at the age of 66.

Loving wife of 43 years to Michael and proud mother of Kevin (Val Maloney). Sister and best friends to Janice Pinheiro and Susan (Terry) Cook. Sister-in-law to Nancy (Jim) Mitrosky, cherished aunt to Quinton (Nadia) Cordick and Nicholas Cook, and great-aunt to Ashanti and Aaries Clarke-Cordick. Donna is preceded by her parents Don and Lyalla Christie, her niece Christie Rose Christie, and her brother-in-law Jimmy Cordick.

Donna took immense joy in her volunteer projects and friendships with co-workers at Foresters Financial, where she worked for 35 years before retiring last December.

Within every group of people there is always one person who is the force that brings it together, the one that knows what needs to be done, knows who should do it, and makes sure it happens. To those who knew her, that force was Donna. We will miss her so very much, and she will remain in our hearts forever.

In lieu of flowers, please feel free to make a donation to the Heart & Stroke Foundation in her memory.
