Donna Mary Dulcich

Donna Mary hired me as a Speech Language Pathologist in the fall of 1993 for the Clatsop County ESD. I had the pleasure of working as one of her SLPs from then until she retired. She was a knowledgeable passionate woman whom I and the other professionals at work considered to be a friend. She loved her students. Donna Mary was not one to hedge about her opinion but also very loving and fun. I will never forget her.

Maryanne, I am sorry for your loss, but it sounds like she had a great life. I am sure the celebration of life will be epic. Thanks for the stories about your mom. They still make me smile though I never met her. Blessings.

Donna Mary ( always Mrs Dulcich for 70 years) was my friend and teacher. I had a speach impediment in grade school. I did not like to admit it . I fought her efforts to help me. She corrected my impediment with patience and love. I always decribed Donna Mary as a " mans man". If a person didn´t know her well, they may not know why. She knew athletes/athletics/winning/losing in a way I loved. Most women I know wete not in the same league with Donna Mary when it came to Football,...

I met Donna Mary and Vince when I worked at Astoria high school as counseling secretary. We became good friends and traveled together and had many good times together. She was a wonderful friend and I will miss her dearly. My condolences to her family.

Donna was such a joyful addition to my world. She always remembered my name and her smile reminded me to share one of my own. It was infectious. I hope the memories you share with others, the lessons you carry with you every day and the sound of her laughter stay with you and bring comfort, peace, and a smile when you need them! You were certainly loved!

Donna Mary was instrumental in hiring me, fresh out of grad school, for my first job as a Speech-Language Pathologist in 1983. She was a great leader and mentor for the six years I worked at the ESD. She gave me a great foundation on which to build my career. I recall her fondness for turkey sandwiches on white bread, coffee, and cigarettes in the 80's, her laugh and her dedication to helping kids. I am better for having known Donna Mary.

Donna Mary was a colleague and friend for more than 59 years. She was a mentor and a great support to me in work and life. I loved her wit, energy, loyalty and sense of humor. She was a great teacher put in my path. I feel so blessed to have called her friend.

Donna Mary was one of the most amazing people I have ever known. I was so proud she knew my name. Smart, friendly and a beautiful--she was the whole package. I am so sorry for your sadness.
