CUMBERLAND

Donna L. (Moody) Durkee, 73, of Cumberland, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, October 16, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family. She was the devoted wife of 54 years to Scott A. Durkee.

Born in Dover, New Hampshire, she was the daughter of the late George L. and Leona (York) Moody. Donna had made her home in Cumberland since 2014, previously residing in Dover.

Mrs. Durkee worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant for Kent Regency and MAS Nursing Services for several years until her retirement.

Donna found great joy in crocheting and knitting, and she had a true artistic spirit-especially enjoying drawing and coloring. Above all, she cherished time spent with her family, particularly her beloved grandsons, who brought her endless pride and happiness.

In addition to her loving husband, she is survived by her daughter, Crystal Corrado of Cumberland; and her two grandsons, Daniel Corrado and Cody Corrado.

Her funeral services and burial will be held privately.

Memorial donations in her memory may be made to Hope Health, 1085 North Main Street, Providence, RI 02904.
