Donna Marie Kelly passed away unexpectedly on May 14, 2023 at the age of 60.

She was born on May 25, 1962 in Boston, Massachusetts to her loving parents Philip and Elizabeth Kelly.

Donna was 2nd in line of 5 siblings:  Philip / Donna / Karen / Brian / Michael and was a cherished Aunt to Ilissa, Philip, Brian, Madison, Leeann, Kaitlyn and Jayda.  Her family tree also includes aunts/uncles and numerous cousins.

(Donna was pre-ceeded in death by her parents and two younger brothers Brian and Michael; as well as her niece Ilissa)

Donna lived in the West Roxbury, Roslindale and Jamica Plain area all of her life and was well known and loved by many.

For many years Donna worked at "The Pleasant Cafe" where she was well like by all of her co-workers and guests.

She often said that working at The Pleasant was like having a second family.

Donna easily made friends everywhere she went and would speak to anyone she came in contact with.

We will all miss her vibrant personality and friendly disposition.

Donna will be remembered as a fun loving/warm/genuine person who was known for her witty comments and infectious laugh.

We wish Donna eternal peace. May God Bless her always!!!!
