Donna's obituary

Words overflow like a fount for our Donna, wife, mother, grandmother-“Great” and friend who lived a beautifully poetic life from start to end. Donna shared an amazing legacy with “her Tony” reaching the rare height of 71 years of love, laughter and tears. She proudly corrected everyone she met with, “I’m Mrs. Tony Zamora” and that was truer than true day and night for them it was as they say, “Love at first sight”.

Donna met Tony in 1950 at Sacred Heart Academy where he was President of the class and she was Secretary. She was a published, award-winning poet who loved writing and had a special way of sharing poetry from Blessings, eyesight, beloved trees and the most special, her GM Man Tony Z.

Donna loved to travel to Canada and Alaska on tours. She was thoughtful and kind always calling to check on you and yours. We were grateful and blessed to know of her love and love her back. Her perfect recitation of poetry came through like a train’s rhythm and rhyme for all occasions on time and on track. She spoke fluent Spanish and a little German too. She always got the job done and could fight a good fight for YOU.

Donna was asked one time, “Do you work?” She said, “No, I just stay home and take care of my kids.” She loved her Tony and family the most! Her homemade goodies- potato soup, pralines, crepes, banana pudding—she could boast! And always enjoyed a good party to dress for or host!
