Donna’s request was to not be viewed, be buried in West Newton Cemetery, have a simple obituary, and to have a celebration of life. That celebration of life will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 17, 2022, at First Christian Church, 115 Sixth St., Monessen, with Pastor Conrad Auel officiating. Arrangements entrusted to DALFONSO-BILLICK FUNERAL HOME INC. AND CREMATION SERVICES, 441 Reed Ave., Monessen. Condolences accepted for the family at www.dalfonso-billick.com.
