Donna M. Walker
July 11, 1946 — October 10, 2023
Donna Marie (Garrity) Walker, (77) passed away peacefully on Tuesday October 10th, 2023, with her loving family.
Born on July 11th, 1946 in Holyoke, MA to Donald and Theresa (Vanasse) Garrity. Donna lived her exuberant young life in Chicopee, MA with her two siblings Kathy and Joan, along with her close cousins Dennis, Keith, Gary and many aunts, uncles, and friends nearby.
Donna was a fun and spirited soul who had a passion for the fall and winter months that led to a family tradition of making candy wreaths with her three children and her niece Terry Beaupre.
During her last moments with her family, she enjoyed waking up every morning to sing with her King Size Cupcake and the little boy with the hair, as she would call her great grandkids out of humor. Donna was strong willed and stubborn at times but had an enormous heart with a sense of humor you would never forget. Donna kicked a** quiet literally and figuratively especially during her fight with Dementia and if you knew her, then you know!
Donna is survived by her three children Thomas, Scott, and Jennifer; cousin Dennis; niece Terry Beaupre; seven grandchildren, Timothy, Miranda, Amber, Jeremiah, Daniel, Stephanie, and Sara, and ten great grandchildren whom she adored so much.
Donna was predeceased by her parents Donald and Theresea, her beloved Meme (Hermine Vanasse) and Pepe (Ovala Vanasse); sister Kathy; late husband Johnny Walker; and Harry Baer Jr., whom she shared her three children with from her first marriage.
Donna was a strong person and is now on a journey that we cannot see, free of pain and at peace.
