My dear Aunt Donna will remain a gentle and loving spirit as she is ushered into heaven just as she was in life.   I believe we are always connected to those with whom we cherish and it is through life’s moments the bonds that tether us together are reinforced enabling us to feel the spirit of those we love.  

Like the ebb tide, the limits of time and space wash away the distance between us.  Aunt Donna had many talents and gifts that she shared willingly and lovingly.  All that had the privilege of knowing her were blessed by her kindness.  Her spirit is as warm today and tomorrow as it was yesterday. 

My heart aches with my Uncle Rick, my cousins Jeffrey, Eric, John-John, and Melody, the Jaramillo’s and their respective families as they step through the difficult days ahead feeling the distance as Aunt Donna is reborn. 

 Aunt Donna led a noble life through her chosen path as an educator and the breadth of her influence touched many lives.  If ever you find yourself alone and missing our sweet Donna, I invite you to visualize everyone she ever taught including our family, friends, and her students standing together and lovingly sharing their favorite moments with her.   Her memory will come alive and you will be filled with love. 

I wish all those that knew Aunt Donna love and light.

Be well,

Joseph Leyba and Mrs. Wisteria Le’Mew

Donna was always so happy and generous to everyone around her. She always asked about how I was doing and was always so motherly to me. I had the honored to meet her and be close friend with Melody and it breaks my heart knowing she’s gone. It doesn’t feel real but I know she’ll always be looking after her wonderful family. She always seemed like another mom to me and I had to pleasure of knowing her. Rest In Peace, Donna. We will miss you so dearly. 

Donna's sweet daughter Melody is my grandson's girlfriend. I never met Donna but I know that she was a wonderful Mom. She raised a wonderful, sweet daughter that we have grown to love. We feel the sadness in her over her Mom's death. Rest in beautiful peace Donna.

There isn’t enough that could be said about Donna that could say how lovely of a person she was. Losing Donna has felt like losing a mother of my own. Donna always made sure I was welcomed in her home with a warm smile and a plate of food. There was never a night she let me go un-fed. She would tell me all about her upcoming lesson plans and how her work day went while I sat at the table with her and my food, and I couldn’t be more attentive.  She loved everybody she crossed paths with, and that was clear through her words and messages left by others. As long as I’ve known her, I’ve never experienced ever anything short of love. Thank you so much for welcoming me to your family Donna and being so supportive of Melody and I. You’ve really shown me a different aspect to family that I never knew before. We miss you so much. We love you so much. 

Oh, Mom, how it has been so quiet and lonely without you here at the house. I miss the days of you coming home from work, and Autumn would be so excited to greet you. She knew the sound of you coming up the driveway and would be waiting by the door for you to walk in. Autumn would be leaping on your lap and dancing around you, waiting for you to hand her a cheese stick from the fridge as you would the grandkids... She misses you so much, along with all of us. You were so kind and selfless, thinking about others before yourself. You worked so hard and long and had an enormous passion for teaching. You put your heart and soul into working with each child, and you never settled for less. Some days would be more challenging than others, but you always managed to have a smile on your face. I would look forward to coming home from school/or work to ask you how your day was; you would sigh and say it was long but then talk about every good thing that happened. You found joy in everything. Your smile and laugh, forever engraved in my memory. There's so much I wish you could've lived on to see and do, but I know your presence still surrounds us, and you will live on in our hearts. We love you so much, and we miss you. - Melody & Autumn ❤️

For all of us who had the pleasure of knowing Donna, I think everyone would agree that Donna’s smile was as infectious as it was beautiful.  Her eyes would light up when sharing news about her grandchildren and accomplishments of Jeffery, Eric, John, or Melody. She and my brother epitomized a loving, devoted, and faithful family.  Together as a team they nurtured, supported, and cared for their beautiful family and extended family members.  As part of my brother and Donna’s routine they would call my father every night since my mother’s passing two years ago to recite the rosary with him. On one occasion, Donna called to inform me that she thought my father may have fallen just as he was trying to answer the phone.  When we arrived, we indeed found my father had fallen and was unable to get up. Fortunately my father was unhurt, but had it not been for Donna’s quick alertness, the situation may have been worse. I will always be eternally grateful to Donna’s kindness she extended to both my mother and father. Perhaps Donna’s greatest legacy will be her love of family and the kindness she unselfishly shared with everyone. May God’s blessings be with you Donna and with your loving family during this time of sadness. 🙏❤️

I'm very saddened to hear of the passing of Donna. I met Donna when I traveled to California for Eric and Tabby's ( I'm her sister) wedding.  I remember her smile, she had a smile that lit up a room and she was so kind to us. Tabby spoke highly of her mother-in-law, which she considered a mother.  My daughters and I were in Vegas in August 2021, seeing Eric, Tabby, and the kids. Tabby and I were talking about future plans for babies and more travel. She was excited for when and if they have another baby, that Donna would be coming out to help her. The travels they had planned for when Donna retired from teaching. Donna thank you for taking care of my baby sister, Eric, and thank you for being such a special Grandma to Colt and Sadie. 

To the Romero family and Jaramillo family, our condolences from Colorado 

My beautiful  and loving wife sugar bear as I called her. I will miss the traveling with you  . As we  were able to talk to each other without distractions . It made the time pass  , it just made the time more enjoyable.  I look back at the little things you did that now are precious memories. The way you would feed me my burrito as I drove . And how you always helped out with driving on long trips when going to see my family . You were alway by my side. How you  Surprised me to tell me I was to be a father . Giving me a birthday gift was a baby PJ sleeper . It was yellow. Or the special occasion  dinner you made with candles . The kid thought that was special too. How you love to decorate for the Holidays . I did the outside and you did the inside. Very festive. Donna you were the live if my life. I was a very lucky person when you said yes 38 years ago . I made your wedding ring  from my own two . hands .  I was so happy to give it to you . Lord take care of Donna my Sugar Bear till we meet forever. 

My sister Donna was truly an amazing person. 
She loved and helped so many people.   
Her love for her family was incredible. 
Our father passed away not too long ago and we would all take turns caring for him.  Since Donna taught she would come on the weekends.  She would get to my folks and she would have a cart full of her teaching lessons and kids papers to correct.   The other cart would be full of cooking utensils.  My dad was on a special diet, so Donna would come and cook meals for them that could be frozen and she wanted to make sure that our parents were taken care of when she wasn’t able to be with them.   We would kid her and ask her where the kitchen sink was because she would literally bring her kitchen with her.  She would just laugh and say she was always prepared in case mom didn’t have something she needed.  
My sister had rheumatoid arthritis so for her to tote and carry all these things was very painful for her but she didn’t care.   She always put herself last and everyone else first. 
She will truly be missed by all of us. 
Sis I can’t wait to see you again.  I am sure Dad is loving all the meals you are making for him now. 
I love you Donna. 

My memories of Donna are how she was such a patient person..I remember one instance as a new mother …Nick was crying and crying..I didn’t know what to do and without asking she took him and soothed his tummy ❤️ She shared motherly advice which I will never forget..I am so blessed to have had Donna in my life…she was truly one of Gods Angels here on Earth with us…Rest in Peace dear cousin🙏🏽🙏🏽😇

It’s incredibly hard having lost Aunt Donna. She was such a joy to the family. I distinctly remember the days we would talk while we switched shifts to take care of Grandpa Jaramillo. We would talk about my classes and her students. Somehow we would get on the topic of food and I would pick her brain about recipes. Everyone knew Aunt Donna’s cooking was really good. Anything I’d learn from her went straight into my list of recipes to try. It’s hard that she passed on but those wholesome moments with her are what I will always remember. 

My mother was the most kind person a son could ever have. She had done so much for her family and inspired and cared for so many other children that she practically became their next mother. She will always be remembered in our minds and hearts. We love you mom so much. Thank you for always being there for us all.

Cousin Donna could melt your heart with her smiling eyes. As a kid I remember the sound of her laughter. You cldnt help but smile, or laugh when she spoke, because she was just so nice and fun to be around. I remember thinking Wow...Cousin Rick REALLLLLY hit the jackpot with her! I encourage everyone not to forget that million dollar smile. My condolences go out to the entire Romero and Jaramillo families. May god bless you all...warmly Mellissa Campbell Allex 🙏 ❤
