Obituary of Donna Marie Fromal Gaw

Donna Marie Fromal Gaw, age 60, died peacefully surrounded by her loving family on March 20, 2019.  Donna graduated from William Penn High School in New Castle, DE in 1976, she lived in the New Castle area for most of her life, then moved to Florida with her family in 1983.  Donna graduated from Webster College in 1998 with a degree in Business Administration/Accounting, and worked part-time while her boys were young.  She was the matriarch of her family, always coordinating family dinners, camping trips, fun trips to the beach and could always be found on the sidelines cheering on her grandchildren in their many activities.  In addition to her own children, she was a “mom” to many.  She had a huge, generous heart and if she opened her home to you, you weren’t just a friend you were family!
