Remembering Donna
Donna Keppel O'Reilly passed
away on September 21, 2023, from
brain cancer, as remembered in a
heartfelt tribute by her
granddaughter Haylee Christophe.
Donna was diagnosed with brain
cancer in July 2023, after a long
and courageous battle with breast
cancer, three times in her life
which she had recently overcome
with chemotherapy and radiation.
She was a fighter, optimist, and
selfless person who maintained a
positive outlook and deep
compassion throughout her illness.
Her family remembered her as
Wife, mother, grandmother, great-
grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin,
and friend. Known for her
infectious smile, kindness, and
humility. Someone who always
prioritized the well-being of those
she loved, even when she herself
needed care. Donna's faith,
strength, and ability to find the
"good in people" were central to
her character. She was celebrated
for her selflessness, love, and
unwavering positivity despite
facing extraordinary challenges.
