Obituary
Donna M. (Lewis) Piteo, age 71, passed away on Saturday, November 10, 2007, surrounded by her loving family after a long and courageous battle with cancer, which she beat. Donna succumbed to the many unexpected side effects of a stem cell transplant. She was a talented and creative seamstress. A cherished friend to all she met and the first to always lend a helping hand. Her greatest joys came from being a mom and grandma. Donna retired from the Inside Outfitters and was a lifetime member of St. John the Baptist Italian Catholic Church. She was born on July 13, 1936, to the late Josephine (Showalter) Walls. She is also preceded in death by her husband of fifty years, Dominic "Don" Piteo; brother, John "Bob" Lewis and stepfather, Raymond Walls.
