Donna R. (Rochefort) Iwaniuk, 81, of Auburn, passed away peacefully on Friday, May 22, 2026 at Beaumont Rehab and Skilled Nursing Center of Northborough. She was predeceased by her beloved husband of 49 years, Georg E. Iwaniuk, in 2015.

Donna leaves her children, Heidi Drake and her partner Tony, of Springfield, Eric Iwaniuk and his wife Lori, of Millbury, Lisa Valliere and her husband Dan, of Whitinsville, and Kurt Iwaniuk and his wife Heather, of Arizona; her grandchildren, Evan and wife Katie, Ryan and wife Victoria, Kayla and husband Nate, Ashley and husband Rob, Kassidy, Johnathan, Kyle, Tori, Madison, and Leon; great-grandchildren, Dominic, Evelyn, Sullivan, and Robert Jr.; along with a lifelong best friend, Elaine Dufault and her husband Arthur. She was also predeceased by her grandson, Parker Drake; and her brother, Gary Rochefort.

Donna was born and raised in Worcester, daughter of the late William and Doris (Krals) Rochefort. She was educated in Auburn, and graduated from Auburn High School. She had a long career working for Elkay Plastics, where she was a Quality Control Inspector. Donna enjoyed cooking, in her free time, and loved jewelry – especially her rings!

Her family would like to thank the staff of Beaumont Nursing Home for their care for Donna in the last three years, and to extend their appreciation for JHC Hospice – thank you all.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to JHC Hospice (https://www.jhccenter.org/make-a-donation/memorial-contributions/).

Per Donna’s wishes, services will be held privately for her family, with the assistance of the Britton-Wallace Funeral Home, Auburn.
