Donna Lavin
Donna Lavin, 55, daughter of Julius Chiapperini and Marie Cardone of Flushing, New York, died at her home on Thursday, January 13, 2011.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 30 years and Vietnam veteran, Thomas Patrick Lavin, also of Flushing, New York.
A resident of Charlottesville for 21 years, Donna was most loved by those around her for her indomitable spirit and her feisty sense of humor.
Despite her multiple illnesses, Donna kept an upbeat outlook and loved nothing more than spending time with her friends and family.
She leaves behind a daughter, Donna Cavello; a son-in-law, Brian Cavello; her 12 year old granddaughter, and the angel of her life, Brianna Rose Cavello and her partner of eight years, David Matheny.
My mother brought love and laughter to our lives and will live in our hearts forever.
Funeral arrangements by Hill and Wood Funeral Home.
Gifts to the family accepted and appreciated.
