Donna Marie Fuller, age 71, passed away peacefully on June 15, 2024 surrounded by loving family and friends. Born on April 14, 1953 to the late John & Verna Sanko of the greater Northeastern Philadelphia area, Donna attended St. Hubert's School for Girls and later attended Penn State University, earning her Bachelor's degree in Journalism. She then began working for WMAJ/WXLR as a copy writer, where she then met her husband, Greg. They lived in the State College area for many years before moving to North East. While in North East, she earned her Master's degree from Mercyhurst University and worked as an admissions counselor for Penn State Behrend. Donna loved to tend to her vegetable garden, make delicious pickles, watch cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies, and spend time with friends. She is survived by her loving husband of 46 years, and two sons: Michael (Liz Biondi) of State College, PA; and Jonathan (Tesia Lewis) of Syracuse, NY.
