Donna Mae Giffels, 73, of Bath, passed away
peacefully on July 11, 2012, with her family by her side. Her last words were
the recitation of the rosary.
Donna was born on March 6, 1939 in Akron, where she attended St. Sebastian School, Our Lady of the Elms High School and The University of Akron. She was a longtime member of St. Vincent Parish.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Ralph and Eve Auseon; sister, Patricia Kormanik; and infant brother, Daniel.
Through recent illnesses, her greatest desire was to live to celebrate her 50th wedding anniversary. She exceeded that goal by two months.
Donna is survived by her devoted husband, Thomas; son, Ralph (Natalie) and their sons Ryan and Daniel; son, David (Gina) and their children Evan and Lia; daughter, Eve Brunot (Douglas) and their children Gwendolyn and Edward; and son, Louis and his dearest friend, Dana Howell and her sons, Trent and Jeffrey; sister, Kathleen Milo; and numerous relatives and friends.
Requiescat in pace.
Mass of Christian Burial will be held Monday, July 16, 2012 at 9:30 a.m. at St. Vincent Catholic Church, 164 West Market St., where the family will receive friends from 8:30 until the time of service. Interment at Holy Cross Cemetery.
Memorial donations may be made to the Father Thomas Corrigan Scholarship Fund
at St. Vincent Parish in Akron or a charity of choice.
