She was born Sunday, May 6, 1962 in Batavia NY, a daughter of the late Melvin and Angela(Spiotta) Jesment.

Donna lived a life of faith, always believing that God would give her strength. She was a devoted mother first & foremost. She cherished her daughters & embraced every moment with them. Donna loved spoiling her grandchildren.

She enjoyed working in her flower garden. She had a knack for picking and placing flowers to create the most beautiful garden. Donna & John loved sitting on their deck enjoying the
peaceful feeling the garden gave them. Spending time with family and friends is what made Donna happy. Memories of dinners out with her girlfriends and fifteen years of Christmas Cookie Exchanges with her “Cookie Girls” will be cherished by all.

Donna will be remembered by her fiancé, and true love, John Demler. She will be sadly missed by her beloved daughters; Andrea Licata, Jenna (James “America”) Ellis and Ashley (Patrick)
Flaherty. She will live on in her cherished grandchildren; Johnathan Licata, Maverick McCollum, Kiley & Grayson Flaherty, Everett Ellis and soon to be granddaughter Lenore Dennis. Donna is survived by her dear siblings, Richard, Linda (Evan) Laganis and Paula (Andy Labell) Sullivan.

Donna will be remembered by John’s children, Helen, Jacob, Zachary, Isaiah and Naomi, and her nieces and nephew, whom she cared for very much.

Along with her parents, Donna is predeceased by a brother, David Jesment.
