Donna Grace Larson

Obituary Donna Grace Larson was born in New York City, New York on August 30th, 1960. On November 26th, 2021, she was called home to be with her mother Audrey Pagano. Donna was surrounded by loved ones during this time of returning home to be with many others who love her too. Donna was a wonderful daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt, and a best friend to many. Although she was socially reserved, she always made wonderful friends with everyone she met. She kept her circle of close friends small, but very strong, as she loved them all unconditionally. She was the rock of her family and friends. She was known for being an awesome, kind, loving, extremely supportive mother, wife, and true friend. As most who knew her, she was happy, healthy, and active by always enjoying the beauty of nature while sitting in her sunshine oasis on the back deck reading books, bird watching, and taking pictures of other wildlife that would always wander by to visit. Donna also enjoyed taking long road trips with her loved ones, spending as much time as possible with family and friends. She was a very brave, courageous, and strong woman, who was the type who didnt take anyones nonsense too seriously. She was quick with the wit, all the while trying to make everyone smile. She was the type to put others before herself, with the loving and kind heart she shared with so many, she was always there to help others. Blessed as we are, Donna has left her eternal unconditional love for all of us to always remember to pay it forward. For beautiful memories of her will always live on in the hearts and souls of all of her family and friends. She will be missed dearly by all those who knew and loved her. Donna is survived by her husband T.J.; children, Michael, and Amanda; sisters Debbie Goicoecia and Sharon Castillo and brother Stephen Pagano; along with several nieces and nephews.
