Donna PERFETTI Obituary
PERFETTI,
Donna Jane
Donna Jane Perfetti passed away peacefully in her sleep on March 25th, 2016 at the age of 80. She was born in Spokane, WA on May 29th, 1935 to George and Josephine Perfetti. She is survived by her sister Leorita "Rita" Loft; five nieces and nephews, Robert (Janice) Loft, Christine (Steven) Alexander, Julie (David) Finney, Michael (Larry O'Neal) Loft and Stephanie (Matt) Manke, and many great nieces and nephews. Donna was preceded in death by her parents and her brother-in-law Bob Loft in 2007.
Donna graduated from St. Xavier grade school and Marcliff High School. She attended St. Xavier, St. Aloysius and St. Francis of Assisi Parishes. Donna had a special gift to make others laugh with her silly, yet loving personality. This ability to connect with people helped her successfully sell maintenance agreement plans at Sears for 31 years. She also sold Avon for 51 years, making many friends and creating lasting relationships.
Throughout her life, she was involved with Little People of America and Christian Singles where she enjoyed traveling throughout the country. She was active at the Sinto Senior Center, Corbin Park Seniors and Catholic Daughters. Donna loved music, movies and was an avid reader. Auntie Donna always made us laugh with her corny little sayings. She was kind, gentle and caring. We all will truly miss her.
Funeral Mass will be Monday, April 4th, 2016 at 2pm and will be celebrated at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, 4420 N. Jefferson, Spokane, WA with visitation beginning at 1pm. Interment will follow at Holy Cross Cemetery. Arrangements have been entrusted to:

Donna was my Avon lady at one time, and I saw her in church. Always enjoyed visiting with her. Lately, I had seen her more than once at Red Lobster. Sweet, gentle person

Donna lived across the street from me all of our growing up years. She was a few years older than me, I used to bug her I know.
What a great little gal. There was a wonderful apple tree in their back yard.
Great memories.
