Donna Marie Cole
Donna Marie Cole, age 75, of West Charleston died peacefully on May 28, 2021, while at North Country Hospital with her family present. Donna was admitted May 12 after suffering a severe stroke.
We are very thankful and grateful to the hospital and attending staff for their loving care and support to the family during her stay.
Donna was born on April 5, 1946, at Copley Hospital in Morristown. She was the daughter of Alberto David Cole of Morristown and Gladys Sylvia (Mason) Cole of Montgomery.
She is survived by her siblings: Daryl Cole of Bristol, Connecticut, Gloria Faucher of Berlin, New Hampshire, Jocelyn Davio of Derby Line, Michael Tenney and his wife, Rebecca, of Barton, and Randal Tenney and his wife, Lee, of Derby. Many good times were had with Donna’s family at her home in Orleans. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
Donna had no natural children of her own but was honored and proud to be called Mom by Brian S. Breault, the son she helped raise with her longtime companion, Keith M. Breault; and grandma by Brian’s four children: Christian Breault, 20, Evolette Breault, 7, Seren Breault, 4, and Auden Breault, nine months.
Donna was preceded in death most recently on January 30, 2021, by her longtime companion, Keith M. Breault; by her father, Alberto Cole, and her mother, Gladys Mason Cole; a sister Jean Goss; and her brother Brendon Cole.
Donna retired from Columbia Plywood in Newport after working most of her adult years there. She was a very friendly, kind, gentle, and loving person. She loved animals and gave many of them a good home through out the years. She loved nature and often talked of the wildlife that surrounded her at her home on the Willoughby Lake Road in Brownington. Donna loved her study of the Bible and looked forward to the future of sharing in all of God’s wonderful promises for us. It was very touching to me when she requested a study with me. It gave me the opportunity to get to know Donna on a very personal level, and I must say she is the kindest soul I have ever met. She always spoke well of others (Deb Fish). She loved fishing, hunting and gardening. She raised rabbits and made maple syrup as pastimes. She enjoyed feeding the deer that resided next to her property in West Charleston with Princess, her dog, by her side.
A funeral service will be held at the Curtis-Britch and Bouffard Funeral Home at 37 Lake Road in Newport on Saturday, June 12, at 1 p.m. in the gardens.
