However, her number one joy of all was her family. She proudly raised two children with her husband, Bob. But Donna’s richest legacy is her love of her grandchildren who brought so much light, love, and joy into her life.

Donna leaves behind the love of her life, Robert Matseas of Salem, NH; two adoring daughters, Tracy Pitocchelli and her husband, Jeff of Marlboro, and Brenna Cieslik and her husband, Jason of Dracut; three grandchildren, Alexander Pitocchelli, Rocco and Raegan Cieslik; and her three siblings, Gerry West and her husband, Robert of Dover, NH, Nicole Regan and her husband, Brian of Salem, NH, and Albert Scalera and his companion, Debbie Morrison of Methuen.
