Donna Ingraham Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Leete-Stevens Enfield Chapels & Cremation Services on Jan. 28, 2026.
Donna Ingraham, 66, of Enfield, Connecticut, passed away on January 26, 2026 leaving behind a family who loved her deeply. She was born on May 9, 1959 in Lowell, MA to the late Donald Deschenes and Annette (Marion) Arseneault.

Enfield was home for most of Donna's life, and it was where she raised her three daughters and built her family. She worked as a florist for over 30 years, a role that reflected her love for beauty, creativity, and bringing joy to others.

Donna had a special love for her grandchildren and was delighted in time spent with them. She was known for arriving with Tootsie Rolls in her pocket, always ready to share a small treat and a smile. Those moments will be fondly remembered.

She was eagerly awaiting the arrival of her first grandson, expected in early May, and her excitement at welcoming him into the world was a source of great joy.

Donna also devoted herself to caring for those she loved. She lovingly cared for her mother until her passing and continued to care for her sister, Carol up until her final days.

She is survived by her three daughters: Lindsay Ingraham; Jamie Ingraham and her husband Bryan McCarthy, and their daughters Alex and Sydney McCarthy; and Hillary Welk and her husband Lee Welk, and their daughter Leia. She is also survived by her stepfather Joseph Arsenault and her sisters, Denise Deschenes and Carol Deschenes.

Donna will be remembered for her love of family, her kindness, and the many quiet ways she showed care for others. She will be deeply missed.

Family and friends are invited for Visitation on Sunday, February 1, 2026 from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm at Leete-Stevens Enfield Chapels, 61 South Rd., Enfield, CT. For online expressions of sympathy, please visit www.leetestevens.com
