Diana M. Donnarumma Obituary

Of Clarence, NY; AGE 32; Diana Donnarumma, a beloved daughter, sister, aunt, granddaughter, and friend, passed away at the age of 32. Born on September 19, 1992, in Buffalo, New York, Diana lived a life defined by resilience, compassion, creativity, and an unwavering desire to uplift others. A proud graduate of Nardin Academy, Diana continued her education at the University of Miami, where she earned her Bachelor's degree with a double major in Spanish and Public Relations. Her passion for language, culture, and communication reflected her natural ability to connect with people in meaningful and lasting ways.

Diana had a deep love for travel, especially to Spain, where she immersed herself in the language and spirit of the culture. She also pursued modeling, a creative outlet that allowed her to express herself with confidence and grace. Above all, Diana was driven by a desire to help others—particularly those facing complex medical conditions. In 2017, Diana received a small intestine transplant at Georgetown University Hospital, where she was cared for by an extraordinary team of doctors, nurses, and staff.

Over the past eight years, Georgetown became a second home for Diana, offering not only world-class medical care but also unwavering emotional support and compassion that profoundly touched her and her family. Motivated by her own medical journey and the challenges she faced, Diana founded an organization that provided fashionable and functional medical accessories to patients. Her mission was to help others feel confident, seen, and supported during their most vulnerable times. Through her work, she gave strength, beauty, and hope to many.

Diana is survived by her loving parents, Glen and Debra Donnarumma; her devoted brother, Daniel Donnarumma (Jessica); her cherished nephew and niece, Wesley and Nora Donnarumma; and her beloved grandfather, Lawrence Donnarumma. She is also survived by many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins, all of whom were touched by her vibrant spirit and generous heart. She will be deeply missed by her extended family, lifelong friends, and all those whose lives she impacted. Diana's life was a remarkable example of grace in the face of hardship.

She transformed her own struggles into a beacon of purpose and love for others. Her legacy will live on in every life she helped and every heart she inspired. A Celebration of Diana's Life will be held on Saturday, July 19th from 1-3:30 p.m. at the (Harris Hill Chapel) AMIGONE FUNERAL HOME, INC., 8440 Main Street (near Harris Hill Rd.) where Words of Remembrance will be shared beginning at 3:30.
