Celebrate the Life of Jessica Natalia Donner

Message from the Family:

Our family is deeply saddened by the loss of Jessica. Many have asked if they can do anything so a fund was created to assist with expenses for anyone who wishes to help.

Jessica Natalia Donner passed away on July 11, 2024, at the age of 35 at New York-Presbyterian Hospital in Queens, NY. Jess was born on October 6, 1988, and raised in Roseville, Pennsylvania.

She is survived by her loving parents, David and Dushanka Vlajic Donner; her seven siblings: Katrina (Tom) Wood, Tracy (Tim) Reidy, Misty (John) Wood, Travis (Amanda) Donner, Emily (Brad) Tice, Erica (Marty Kasper) Cummings, and Tyler (Kirsten Pulido) Donner; her love, Johnny O’Leary, and his beloved family in Ireland; and many uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews, and nieces who knew her as ‘the fun aunt’. Jess was predeceased by her dear grandmother, Tasa Vlajic, just two months ago.

Jess was a carefree spirit, fun-loving, and immediately became friends with whomever she met. She loved a good adventure and made everyone feel welcomed and loved. We will forever miss her smile, her heart of gold, her humor, and her laugh.

A celebration of Jess's life will be held on Saturday, July 27 from 12:00-3:00 PM at the Roseville Community Center, 114 Roseville Ave., Mansfield, PA 16933. Light refreshments will be provided. The family invites all who knew Jess to join them in remembering her adventures in life. Please feel free to bring pictures and stories to share.

The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude and thanks to the doctors, nurses, and support staff at Presbyterian Queens for the care and support they provided to both Jess and the family. In lieu of flowers, Jess would ask that you perform an act of kindness in her honor or give to a cause that supports others. Your support and kindness during this difficult time are greatly appreciated.
