Donna M. Abbott
HORNELL - Donna M. Abbott, 89, formerly of Belmont, entered heaven's gates on Thursday (Sept. 6, 2018) at Elderwood of Hornell, surrounded by her family.
Donna was born on July 26, 1929, at her family home in Belvidere/ Angelica, to Henry D. Baker and Mae M. (Robbins) Baker. On Dec. 16, 1950, at The Presbyterian Church in Belmont, Donna married the love of her life, Robert A. Abbott, who predeceased her on Jan. 7, 2003.
She attended and graduated the Belmont Central School.
Donna's family was her greatest joy. The love and pride that she had for them was unmistakable.
She was a longtime resident of Belmont and was active within the community. Donna was happy to be a member of The United Methodist Church, The Belmont Fireman's Auxiliary, The Amity Rescue Squad Auxiliary and The Bowling League.
Donna worked for some time at Motorola and as a Home Health Aide, but her calling and passion was being a homemaker.
She was a devoted wife, loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She loved her friends, neighbors and acquaintances. While living on Greenwich Street, Donna's was the place that the kids went to for "Fluffernutter" sandwiches. Donna's front door was the place that neighborhood children loved to hang their May baskets expecting a chase and kiss from her. Mrs. Abbott opened her heart and her home to many. Several people will remember Donna riding her scooter to and from her destinations, and joy riding with friends.
During her recent years while residing in Hornell, some of Mrs. Abbott's caregivers became her extended family. She could always be found somewhere hugging staff, visitors and friends; Always smiling, always complimenting others, and always giving her best wishes to all that she approached.
Even though spending time with those that she loved was her desire, Donna enjoyed attending church services, bowling, reading, playing cards/games, music and classic movies.
Together Mr. and Mrs. Abbott raised three children; daughter, Sharon (Steve) Cartwright, who predeceased her on Feb. 11, 2016; a son, Robert (Susie) Abbott and daughter, Kim (David) Waters who survive.
Mrs. Abbott was survived by six grandchildren; Michaela, Bobbie Jo, James, Jody, Gabrielle, and Kyle; eight great-grandchildren, whom she adored; and several nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, husband and daughter, Donna was predeceased by brothers, Chester Baker, Leonard Baker, Victor Whitney, Kenneth Whitney; a sister, Georgia Lincoln; and a niece.
A private burial will take place at The Forest Hills Cemetery in Belmont.
