Donna Puopolo Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Bisbee-Porcella Funeral Home on Oct. 12, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

Donna M. Puopolo, age 54, although she would refer to herself as 27, of Revere, passed away, unexpectedly on October 9 at her home in Spencer.
Born in Boston and raised in Revere, Donna was the beloved daughter of the late John and Donna (Grushey) Puopolo. She was the sister of the late John Puopolo. She had a gift for finding beauty and joy in life - from her talent for crocheting, painting, coloring, and creating unique crafts, to her incredible sense of humor and quick wit that could light up any room. Donna loved to laugh and even more so to make others laugh. Above all, her love and devotion to her family defined her; her grandchildren were her heart, the light of her life and the song of her soul.
Donna is survived by her three children: Nina Russo of Chelsea, Robert Rose of Revere, Alexander Tirado of Lynn and her fiancé Gary Fusco.
