DONNA MACNEIL Obituary

MacNEIL--Donna. We mourn the passing of Donna MacNeil not only as friends but also as members of The Movable Feast Book Club. Since 1997 we have met to discuss 125 novels; our animated dinners were enriched by Donna's contagious warmth, devilish humor, and, as her health declined, courage. We will miss her at our tables. Throughout we were moved by the devotion and support of her husband, Robin, to whom we extend our deep sympathy and admiration.

Arlene and Alan Alda, Judy and Leslie Gelb, Bette and Winston Lord, Hannah Pakula, Calvin Trillin

I worked with Donna a lifetime ago at Monte Sano & Pruzan, and also with mercurial Jacques Tiffeau. Donna made a sometimes very difficult job easier. She was a steady, calming influence in the oftimes turbulent world of fashion.
