My aunt Donna. Going to miss her so much. A second mother to me growing up. My mothers first sister. Often the lines were blurred between our family and hers. Cousins raised more like sisters. Always someone I could go to and count on. She stood with me on my wedding day in the absence of my own mother. Became MiMi to my daughter from the minute she was born. Unapologetically herself, with a bigger heart than anybody could imagine. A champion for equality and humility. I could go on and on. She will be so deeply missed.

Mimi was such a special lady. I have been her LuLaRoe consultant for 4 years and although we never met in person, I felt like I knew her! She was always so kind to me and I loved that we shared being Eeyores, a love for tie-dye, and just having good laughs. She had a mini cheesehead keychain I sent her for when shed cheer for the Packers when the Steelers werent playing. :) At least she humored me. She was always so proud of her girlies and often spoke of them and all the fun times they had at the lake house. I know this wonderful woman will be missed by many. I for sure am going to miss my friend.

As kids, there were many great Christmas celebrations at Grandpap and Grandma Staab's. Also our families went on vacation together at the cottages at Geneva-on-the-Lake, OH. Geneva became Donna's summer haven. RIP Donna Marie, you will always be in my memory. Your Cousin, Tom Noonan

Mimi was a good soul and helped everyone in difficult times. Her good nature and kindness will be a void in our lives. I will always be grateful for her kindness during my illness. She has a special place in the kingdom of God. My family sends our condolences to Mimi's immediate family and to the Staub family. Melissa, Carol, and Clyde Rossiter.

What would I like to say about Donna---Pushy. She pushed me through school, pushed me to grow up, a few of my friends also (Sam, Pat,Lenny,Jeff,Phil). She pushed me through a career (a long with Ralph) that I was not sure I could do. A lot of time was spent at the kitchen table drinking coffee, solving the worlds problems. At least my worlds. It was never to late to call or stop and talk. To her it did not matter if I had not seen her in a day or in years, she would always be there for me. I will never know your loss, but I know we lost a special person. She touched more people than I think we will ever know.

To the Dugan family, how sad to learn of Donna's passing and my condolences to all of you. Donna was a great co-worker and dedicated employee and her contributions to enrich the lives of the children of Pittsburgh is a tribute to Donna. Let the fond memories be those which help sustain you in the future.
Danny D. Seymour.
