Reading a series
of obituaries from a single cemetery, as they are presented here, is like
reading the multi-generational history of a community. These people were
the local populace at a particular time. The people buried here knew each
other, were neighbors, relatives and school mates. They attended church
together and engaged in "trade" or business.
All people are listed in alphabetic order by surname at BIRTH. Women
identified by a married alias only and for whom a birth surname can
not be identified, are listed on the last page for the cemetery's obituaries.
Please send in typed obituaries for people buried in our local cemeteries.
If possible include name of newspaper and date. Send typed in your email
or in attached Word files. Send to Joyce M. Tice (JoyceTice@aol.com) |

from Southside High School in 1982. Shortly thereafter, she became a
registered nurse and spent the next 28 years at St. Joseph's Hospital doing
what she truly loved. On a modest income, Donna traveled the world. She took
her first trip to Egypt all by herself at the age of 23. From that time on,
she chose an exotic or historical place to travel to every year. Among some
of her travel sites include France, Germany, Turkey, Italy, Prague, Kenya,
Venezuela, China, Thailand, Amsterdam, Hungary, Scotland, Ireland, and
Morocco, which was her favorite destination of all. Donna had many tastes
when it came to travel. She enjoyed discovering the world by visiting five
continents, yet also had a passion for simple camping at Keuka Lake. Donna
loved life and lived in the moment, surrounding herself with friends and
family. She was the ultimate hostess and entertainer. She threw the most
elaborate gatherings and loved her "girls' nights" filled with her favorite
music of jazz and classical, laughter and best friends. Donna was the
matriarch of her family, orchestrating all of the holiday dinners. Further,
she was also the glue that held her circle of friends together. Through her
amazing circle of friends and summers at the lake, she finally met the love
of her life, Billy. Though night and day, they both brought out the best in
each other. Billy brought a smile to Donna's face that only he could.
Services will be held at St. Mary's Church on the Southside at 11:00 a.m.,
Thursday, August 27, 2015, followed by interment at St. Peter and Paul's
