Her legacy lives on, most vibrantly in her strong family.
She was predeceased by her beloved spouses, Leo Gagnier and Salvatore Ferry, as well as her mother, Jean Katherine Gravlee. Despite the distance and lost connection, she held onto the precious memories of time spent with her many brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews and remembered them with love and kindness.
Donna is survived by her devoted children: daughters Lynda Paglia, Sandra Chenot, and Karen Bonventre, and her son Steven Paglia. Her love and dedication will continue to live on through her grandchildren: Bobbie-Jo Dombek, Taylor Paglia, Samantha Paglia, Anna Gow, Stephanie Gow, Angela Gow, Melanie Wellington, Arianna Paglia, and Micheal Paglia.
