Donna Mary Dulcich

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.
