Donna J. Hodgdon
December 23, 1953 — June 15, 2017
GUILDHALL - After a brief but vicious bout with pancreatic cancer Donna J. Hodgdon of Guildhall passed away on June 15, 2017. Her cancer diagnosis was complicated by congestive heart failure and a 30-year-long battle with lupus. "I'm fighting a triple wammy," she would tell family and friends; however, in all respects she managed the hand she was dealt with grace and dignity.
She leaves behind: a sister, Bonnie LaValley and her husband Phil; three brothers, Sonny, Allen and Terry Hodgdon; aunts and an uncle; nieces and nephews; and grandnieces and grandnephews. Donna was born on December 23, 1953 to Charles and Everdene Hodgdon of Granby, who predeceased her.
After graduating from White Mountains Regional High School she attended UVM and received a degree in Radiation Therapy. She moved to Los Angeles where she worked at Kaiser Permanente Hospital for 25 years. Donna loved animals, especially cats, and strongly believed in a place called Rainbow Bridge, where after death she will reunite with pets of years past. U.S. Poet Laureate Maya Angelou wrote a line that best describes the life of Donna Joy Hodgdon: "My mission in life is not merely to survive but to thrive, and do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style." Rest in peace little sister. Rest in peace knowing that you are loved and cherished by your family.
A celebration of life will be held Saturday, October 14th at 11:00 AM at the Granby Church. A luncheon will follow at the Granby Town Hall.
