Donna J. (Loiseau) Mancini passed away peacefully on November 24th. She was born to George and Doris Loiseau in Shrewsbury, MA and grew up on Lake Quinsigamond. She was married to the love of her life Ronald Mancini, who she lost far too soon after 31 years of marriage.

Donna worked at a few iconic restaurants during her career, retiring from the family business on Route 20. She loved spending summers at the Pines Campground in Salisbury Beach in what became known as the Beach Wagon. Donna’s true passion in life was her family but we can’t talk about Donna’s life without including her other family, that would be the girls she spent all her life playing poker and traveling with.

Something Donna was so humble about was helping people. Not just her immediate family but also a few “strays” along the way. Whether it was for a week or 10 years, Donna always took someone in. She would demand that they pull their weight but everyone that stepped into 165 Country Club Blvd became family.

She leaves her children Holly Wagner and her husband David, Jodi Brennan, Anthony Mancini, and her stepdaughter, Rhonda Kupstas. She was Mimi to her six grandchildren who were the light of her life, Deanna, Ericka, Toni, Nicholas, Joseph and Andrew, and Grammy to her great grandson and absolute favorite, Kade. Her brothers Paul “Pudgy” Loiseau, and his wife Denise Loiseau, and George “Gigi” Loiseau. Her sister-in-law Patti Loiseau and brother-in-law Mario Borci. She is predeceased by her brother Jack, sister Doreen, brother-in-law David, and son-in-law Francis. She was loved by all and will be missed dearly. ”
