Donna L. Sawyer, 79, born on September 5, 1946, in Keene, NH, passed away on March 30, 2026 at her home.

Donna had a heart full of love for her hobbies, which included gardening, arts and crafts, and sewing.

She is survived by her loving husband, David Sawyer of Attleboro; her three children, Jodi Sears of Somerset, Vincent DiGiandomenico of Plymouth and Christina DiGiandomenico of Belmont, NH.

Donna was preceded in death by her father, Donald B. Kane, and mother, Alma D. Kane.
