Donna Jean Anzalone

Born in Manchester on February 4, 1952, she was the daughter of the late Robert J. and Florence (Bean) Cote. As one of six children, Donna grew up in Manchester and was a role model to her younger siblings. After receiving her high school diploma, she proudly earned her bachelor’s degree which led her to a fulfilling career of helping others achieve employment. She worked as an Employment Counselor and was a member of the SEIU employment union. Donna was a quiet and truthful woman, following God and enjoying the simple things in life. She had many passions in life such as traveling, camping in Wells, Maine, visiting the ocean, taking trips to Lake Winnipesaukee, attending concerts and spending time with her family. She enjoyed watching the Game Show Network and leisurely playing games on her phone. She had a love for music, especially the Beatles, Lyle Lovette, Elton John and Billy Joel. She will always be remembered for her sweet and gentle affection toward others.

Donna is survived by her life partner, Michael Gosselin of Concord; two children, Gina Anzalone of Concord and Nathan Anzalone of Manchester; brother, Robert Cote and his wife Connie of Bow; sister, Debra Dickson and husband Michael of Alton Bay; brother, Thomas Cote and wife Janice of Sandwich, MA; sister, Rhonda Schmidt and husband Eric of Manchester; and many loving family and friends.

In addition to her parents, she is predeceased by her brother Daniel Cote.
