Jim, Deana and Jimmy. I just learned of Donna's passing this morning. I am so sorry to hear this very sad news. I have so many wonderful memories of Donna. She was kind, loving and such a great mother. I remember sitting on the boat for hours with her and the girls just eating, drinking and laughing! The thing I recall most about her is her love for her family and how kind she was to my mother when she was sick..I will always be thankful to her for being such a wonderful friend to her I know that she was greeted with open arms in Heaven by my mother and the rest of the girls. Please know that I am thinking of all of you. May her kindness, love and laughter live on through all of you. With much love and sympathy, Kristen Paolillo

Deepest condolences to the Family...
I've had the privileged of knowing Donna for 3 years while working with her at Primary Residential Mortgage here in Guilford. She always brightened our day with her presence and was just a joy to have around. She showed such compassion towards all her clients and was truly dedicated to helping them. Donna spoke often of her grandchildren and how they lit up her life and was proud of her children with their accomplishments.
I still cant believe i am typing this condolence as it was quite a somber shock to hear of this news.
Donna will always be remembered as such an inspiring woman and as i look at her photo while typing this i wish i could just hug her and tell her how much she will be missed.

Praying for her family and sending strength to them to get through this difficult time.

May the memories you carry with you last you a lifetime and bring a smile to your face when you think of all the joy she brought to your lives.
Sincerely,
Lisa Rivera

Donna was the type of person everyone should strive to be. She was kind, thoughtful,witty and honest. Her deep faith was evident in all she did and her love for others kept her moving in all directions, ready and willing to help and give of her time. She had an incredible strength about her and lived her life with dignity and grace. She talked about her family constantly, and was so thrilled to be a grandma!
I pray for her everlasting peace and eternal rest. Life will not be the same without her. To her family and friends, how blessed we are to have had her in our lives.

My heart is heavy and is filled with grief. I shall sorely miss you Donna Marino. You shined a bright light for me in my own cancer journey in 2014. You're a dear friend and it was an honor to have served you during your Presidency at N.E.W. Thank you for asking, thank you for caring, and most importantly, thank you for spreading your love.

My sincere condolences to your loved ones and family. Sharing one of my favorite pictures of you that reflected your energy and kind soul. How I would like to continue to remember you by. Rest my friend ...

My prayers are with the Marino family. I've been blessed to know Donna for six years. She was a great woman of faith and shared her faith so willingly with the children of our parishes as a catechist for over ten years. She touched so many lives and I'm grateful I had the opportunity to work with her. She will be greatly missed in our parish. Rest with the Lord as he welcomes you with him warm embrace, keeping you so close to His heart! My prayers are with the Marino family.
