 Donna was a graduate of the Chandler School in Boston, she worked as an accounting technician for the federal government in Boston prior to settling in Kingston with her spouse. Donna served on the Kingston Board of Health and held an extended term on the Kingston Youth Commission. Nothing pleased her more than introducing Kingston kids to NYC, Bruins games or a trip to Fenway. When working the little league concession stand, she made sure everyone got a snack after the game whether they had the funds or not. She was a passionate volunteer in our local schools (KES Library & Nurses office) and also Sacred Heart (Annual book fair). Donna served on the Kingston 250th Committee and was an active member of the First Parish Women’s Alliance, Sewing Group, Book Fair and Silver Bells Fair. She loved to travel and could be ready to go on a moments notice whether it was to see friends in Boothbay Harbor, ME or a cross-country journey. Her zest for life and experiences was contagious.
