Obituary

Donna Concetta Soriente (64) passed suddenly on May 18 2023.  Donna was born in Corona, Queens NY on 12/21/1958 to James Massella and Concetta “Connie” Tumbarello.  Donna grew up in Woodhaven NY as the oldest sibling alongside Debbie Daniels (husband Roy) , Diane Ryan (husband William), and Jack Tumbarello (wife Marcy) who she all loved very much.  She was smart, compassionate and had a very outgoing personality that allowed her to meet people and make friends wherever she went.  Donna graduated from Franklin K. Lane High School.  She met and fell in love with George Soriente and they married in 1981.  They had a daughter Tiffany Soriente and son Richard Soriente who they raised in West Babylon NY alongside George’s parents Alfonso and Gretchen Soriente.  Donna was very goal orientated and career driven, and as such worked many years in Human Resources and as a Career Recruiter.  Donna and George moved to Venice Florida in 2017 and they have enjoyed many years amongst the community and friends in the beautiful Florida sun.  On her free time she enjoyed artwork, beach yoga, reading, going to Church and staying in touch with family and friends.  Donna also enjoyed traveling to the Jersey Shore to visit son Richard, Michelle (daughter in law) and her grandchildren Josephine and Benjamin Soriente.  She was loved by all of her nieces and nephews who referred to her as “the good witch.”  A Memorial Service and Celebration of life will occur for Donna at a future date.  Please keep Donna and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

    Donna was one of the very first people I met at Bella Costa several years ago. She arranged a B building gathering so all could meet and welcome me to Bella Costa. She always tried to gather and connect people together. I told her many times she was my earth angel and now,I know for certain, she is a heavenly angel. You are so missed dear Donna. RIP

    I didn’t know Donna long but I felt we had been friends forever. She was kind smart loving and had a infectious smile. I felt we had a lot in common. Both from the New York area, both Italian and loving grandmothers and Yankee fans. I will miss her dearly. Rest in peace my friend.

    Donna, you always made me laugh and smile, your enthusiasm was infectious.. My deepest sympathy to George, Tiffany and Richie and the rest of your family. You will be greatly missed. When I'm in NYC next week, I'll be sure to stop in St Patrick's Cathedral and light a, 'real' candle for you. You and I loved talking about our NY heritage. Rest in peace now dear friend in God's arms, loving and protecting you for eternity.

    Donna was a Volunteer first at the hospital here in Venice, recruited by a dear friend, who knew she was the perfect person to join our team. HR saw the exceptional work ethic and positive personality right away and they hired her.
    We will miss you, and you will be in our hearts forever. Your friend Ingrid.
