Donna Santor Obituary

Donna Santor Scotia - Donna Santor, a woman of strength and resilience, passed away peacefully on February 12, 2024 surrounded by loved ones.
She was predeceased by her beloved husband, James F Santor, and their son, James A Santor. A devoted mother as well as a cherished grandmother, great grandmother, sister, and aunt.
Donna's life was defined by love, faith, and service. Born as one of 18 children, Donna cherished her large family and held a special bond with each sibling. Among them, her twin sister, Dolores, held a particularly unique place in her heart, as they shared a connection only twins understand.
As an active member of Abounding Grace Church, she found solace in her unwavering faith in the Lord, participating avidly in Bible studies. Donna's compassionate spirit led her to volunteer on a missionary trip to Mexico, where she tirelessly served the impoverished. Professionally, she dedicated herself to healthcare, working diligently at Glendale Nursing Home. Her legacy of faith, service, and love will forever inspire those who knew her. Donna's memory will be cherished as a beacon of hope, kindness, and resilience in the hearts of all whose lives she touched. Her absence leaves a void that can only be filled with memories of her enduring love and grace. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who knew her.
Donna was predeceased by Helen Neach (mother) James Santor (husband), James A Santor (son), and siblings Larry, Robin, Sonny, Mary, Patricia, Michele, Joette, Angela, Cindy, Anita, Cookie.
Survived by children Darlene Santor, Debra Juracka (Gino), Mark Santor (Dawn). Grandchildren, April Gosier, Rachael Brault (Scott), Gina Ptak (Eric), Kayla Juracka, Nikki Juracka, Megan Doherty, Patrick Taylor (Jen), Patricia Taylor.
