Donna loved being in the sun and enjoyed traveling. She leaves a legacy of love for family, genuine compassion for rescue dogs and endless generosity for anyone who needed here help. Her love for animals and people was a natural born instinct which she carried throughout her entire life.
Donna was deeply loved by her family
and is greatly missed.
Donna is survived by her husband, Russ Lagattuta; step- son, Jason Lagattuta; parents, Victor and Dottie Holmgren; brother, Jeff Holmgren (Cherie); sister, Nicole Harris (Marc); and her 5 nieces and nephews.

I only known Donna for a short time, but from the moment I interviewed her for a job, I knew she would be more then a co-worker, always laughing, smiling,and had a style of your own. She would decorate the office so cute and lively for each season. I enjoyed talking and sharing stories with her, she will be greatly missed. Heaven just got a lot prettier and brighter forever in my heart.

I will never forget your "sparkling" personality, your positive attitude and willingness to learn more. Your knack for making the front office look fantastic with your flare for style. You are greatly missed at work!

For the brief time that I got to know her, everyday she made me smile with her silly little giggle. She introduces me to Choco the Macho Chihuahua, we would laugh so hard we had tears running down our cheeks. I truely miss her at work she brightened the day. My prayers are with her family and friends.
