Donna Scully Obituary
April 21, 1955 - June 26, 2024
Elk Grove, California - Donna Warren Scully passed away on June 26, 2024 surrounded by her family after a 12 year battle with cancer. Donna had great love for life, family, and friends. She never ran out of positive energy, she was happy and courageous until the end.
Donna was born in Woodland, CA on April 21, 1955 to Don and Gerry Warren. She grew up in Esparto, CA and graduated from Esparto High School in 1973.
Donna worked for Grand Circle Tours as a tour guide traveling to Alaska, Hawaii, Japan, China and many other destinations. She had a love of meeting people and there wasn't a room she couldn't light up. She bartended at various Sacramento watering holes including the Pepper Mill, Bull Market, Limelight, and Jamie's while attending Sacramento State University where she earned her BA in Communications and completed her teaching credential. As a Senior Mary Kay Sales Director she had 80 consultants, earning her pink Cadillac proudly driven by husband Mike.
Donna loved to travel and enjoyed family trips to Santa Cruz, Lake Tahoe, and Hawaii.
A devoted wife, mother, sister, and friend, Donna was deeply loved and will be dearly missed.
Donna is survived by her husband of 34 years, Mike Scully; son Timothy Scully (Emmy Anzalone), brother Mike Warren (Annette), sister Patricia Warren (Laurie); stepchildren Brandi Scully Fisher (Val) and Michael Pereira, the Scully family, aunts, cousins, and many nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Albie Aware Breast Cancer Foundation or Metastatic Breast Cancer Foundation. The family would like to thank Kaiser Hospice for their compassionate and excellent end of life care. A private Celebration of Life event will be held at a future date.

To the Scully family - - so sorry to hear of Donna's passing. I have known her for many years through our Mary Kay business and she was a wonderful lady, very professional and kind. I know she is being missed and the only thing that keeps me going when a loved one is lost is knowing they are in a wonderful place now, happy and healthy and watching over their loved ones. God bless you all, Pamella Stinnett

Mike,
There are just no words to express my deep sorrow about the passing of Donna. She was such a fighter and warrior. I was always amazed by her positive energy and the light she spread in this world while gracefully managing her health and suffering the tragic loss of her parents. She lived with such dignity and grace with you right by her side. Sandy prayers for peace and comfort to you and Tim.
