Donna Torres Obituary
Donna is survived by her loving children Leigh Ann Torres, Juliana Torres, Andrew Torres, and Ismael Burciaga. She is also survived by her precious granddaughters, Jasmine Rodriguez and Nakita Torres. and her sister, Karla Morrissette. Donna was predeceased by her beloved husband, Julian Torres, her father, Everett Erwin, and her mother Alberta Erwin.
Donna's love of life and people was reflected in her tastes and interests. She enjoyed a good taco, relished a cup of coffee, and danced to the rhythm of Jazz, Oldies, and Freestyle music. Donna found enjoyment in detective or medical series and her all-time favorite film, 'Gone with the Wind' while watching with her son Andy. A loyal fan of the Cowboys, Donna also loved watching TV and attending family parties. She had a fondness for the color black and red, symbolizing her strength and passion for life.
Donna's journey was not always an easy one, but she faced every hurdle with grace. Among her greatest accomplishments was the triumph over addiction and regaining her true personality and dignity; plus fighting a long battle against cancer in her own way-a testament to her strength, resilience, and will. Her unconditional love and non-discriminatory care for all people and animals are part of the impactful legacy she leaves behind. She also leaves behind her glorious smile, seen in all her children.
Our beloved Donna loved her family in the best ways she knew how. She impacted every one of her family and friends in ways unknown to each other but greatly appreciated by each individual. Her life was a testament to her belief in loving unconditionally and her legacy will continue to inspire us to care for people of all kinds.

I'm just finding out about the passing of Donna. We went to St. Clement Episcopal Parish School together. Her mother worked at Kaster-Maxon Funeral Home, and Donna taught me a lot about how to handle death at a young age. This is a photo of our 8th grade graduation class. I'm to the far left, and beautiful Donna is far right. We were some of the tallest girls in our class. In the last few years, we spoke often on the phone. My eyes are above for her, an angel.
