Her brother Sidney Saraniti and her brother-in-law and dear friend, Carl Slagle survive her. Always the life of the party she was also a truly loving wife, devoted mom and very loyal friend.

Donna,
I recognized your mom's name when I saw it in the paper. What a pretty lady. I'm sorry to hear of her passing. I have thought fondly of you over the years and wondered how you were doing since we lost touch so long ago. Seems like a lifetime ago when we worked together at Decision Data.
