Born on August 17, 1943 in Rochester, NY to Walter and Mary Louise Guerinot, Donna was one of six children. She was a proud Class of ’65 alumna of Ladycliff College. A long time resident of Castro Valley, she was choir director at St. John’s Church in San Lorenzo and taught at the parish elementary school. She touched the lives of hundreds of students over her twenty years of service as a teacher and assistant principal. Donna will be deeply missed and remembered for her beautiful smile, her eternal red hair, her ubiquitous giant jug of Diet Coke, and her love of Hawaii, books, QVC, “Gone with the Wind”, and all things purple.
