Donna's obituary
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Donna Gentes. Born on July 19, 1951, Donna departed from this world on April 17, 2025. She was a beacon of strength and love to her family and community, and her loss will be deeply felt by all who knew her.
Donna is survived by her loving husband, Lee Gentes, whom she married in 1973. Their devotion to each other was the foundation upon which their family was built, and their love story remains an inspiration to all.
A special bond of affection ties Donna to her children and their spouses, who survive her; sons Joshua Lee Gentes and David Gentes, their wives Lilia and Katelyn respectively, and son-in-law Allan Guess. Donna's life was further enriched by the presence of her grandchildren, Taylor and Ethan Guess, Andrew Gentes and Noah and Harper Gentes. Her spirit will continue to live on through them.
Donna was predeceased by her beloved daughter, Rachel Guess. Their bond of love remains unbroken by time and space and will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew them.
Donna was an active and committed attendee of the Real Life Christian Church. Her faith was an integral part of her life and she shared it with everyone she met.
A memorial service to celebrate the life of Donna will be held on April 26, 2025, at 3:00 PM, at the Real Life Christian Church. The service will be an opportunity to come together, to remember Donna's life and to find comfort in shared memories and collective mourning.
While we mourn the loss of Donna, let us also celebrate the love, warmth and kindness she brought into this world. Her legacy lives on in the many lives she touched.
