In loving Memory
December 23, 1958 – October 3, 2013
Daphne, AL
Donatella Donnell, of Daphne, AL was born on December 23rd, 1958 in Asti, Italy. She died in Fairhope on October 3rd, 2013.
Donatella approached all things in life with spirited determination and discernment. Her 20 year commitment to building a successful enterprise at Carell Corporation in Stapleton, AL, was surpassed only by her fierce devotion to the well-being of her family. Elegance and impeccable taste were distinguishing features of Donatella’s person, as was her compassionate regard for the needs of others.
Her illuminating spirit and love will be felt always. Continuing to celebrate her life are her husband David Donnell and her daughters Hillary and Isabella Donnell and Laura Dickey. In lieu of flowers please make donations in memoriam to, The Lighthouse Women’s and Children’s Shelter, P.O. Box 531, Robertsdale, AL 36567, 251.947.6197.
Expressions of condolence for the family may be made at hughesfh.com. arrangements are by Hughes Funeral Home, 751 American way, Daphne, AL.
I was very sad to read of Donatella’s passing. My son, Garrett and Hillary went to preschool together and as Moms with preschoolers and infants, Donatella and I spent some time together. She was a beautiful person inside and out. I pray the Lord Jesus will comfort all of you.
You are in my thoughts every day and every night, you are missed here on this earth by many.
