Mrs. Linda "Angel" Donnelly, 78, passed away Thursday, January 2, 2025. She was born October 6, 1946 in Manhattan. Angel held many jobs throughout her lifetime. She was a teacher, party planner and hypnotherapist, to name a few. However, her real passion was helping animals and the elderly. She spent countless hours rescuing cats, birds, squirrels, etc. Everyone knew who to call if they had an animal in need of food, shelter or medical attention. In addition, she gave selflessly to the elderly members of her community. She always made sure that they had food, clothing, shelter, but most importantly, she made sure that they had love and friendship, Those who had no family of their own, were always welcomed into her home for a holiday or just a delicious homemade hot meal. She will be sorely missed by all who had the privilege to know her. Angel is survived by her loving husband, James Donnelly. Beloved mother of Debbie (Brian) Tighe, Cyndi Kurianski, and Billy (Anna) Dolega. Fond stepmother of Jimmy (Geri) Donnelly, Russell (Patty) Donnelly, and Danny (Susan) Donnelly. Cherished "Mamaw" to Jimmy (Lauren) Donnelly, Angelica Tighe, Cassidy Tighe, Jake Donnelly, Alyssa Donnelly, Eddie Dolega and Fiona Dolega. Dear great grandmother to Ava Donnelly and Kaylee Donnelly.
