Donna Ellen Gloudemans

She was born in Newark, New Jersey on September 11, 1949 . She was the daughter of Dominic and Doris Melillo who preceded her in death. She married Paul Gloudemans on September 29, 1979. Donna and Paul lived for many years in the Morristown, New Jersey area before retiring to Fort Mill and more recently, York, SC. After working for Bell Labs in her earlier years, she became a very successful Mary Kay consultant and sales director; a job which suited her so well as she enjoyed the many relationships she established there. Donna was very artistic and crafty, always creatively busy. She was also a great cook specializing in Italian cuisine.

David Miller and Jeffrey Gloudemans; sisters-in-law, Louise (Jim) Zeller and Eileen (Doug) Thomas; nieces and nephews Lara (Edward) Tabri, Evan (Katie) Miller, Diana (Jon) Hintz, Laura Zeller, Kathryn Gloudemans, James Gloudemans, Chad Thomas, and Ross (Emily) Thomas and many wonderful and much loved friends.
