Donna L. Harrison's Obituary
Donna L. Harrison age 77 passed away Tuesday, February 9, 2016 in Mt. Dora, Florida. Donna was born in Asheville, NC and moved to the Ocala, Florida area in 1977 from Omaha, Nebraska. She was a former Registered Nurse, but her love of flowers led her to leave nursing and open her own floral design shop in Belleview, FL named the Gallery of Creations which she operated for many years. She loved to dance, and through the years attended many at the Tavares Elks Lodge. She had a sharp and witty humor and was known to be independent and honest, but her core was thick with love for those around her. She was an avid traveler for much of her life and enjoyed taking cruises and later in life traveled around the state meeting friends and camping in her RV. She was pre-deceased by her husbands’ Salvatore “Mick” Distefano and Don Harrison. She leaves behind to cherish her memory her daughters – Jennifer (David) Hair of Sanford; and Marie (Mark) Noble of Ocala; a son – Steven (Jackie) Distefano of Ocala; 4 grandchildren – Kyle, Connor, Micaela; and Isabella; and her sweet cat Peppy.
A celebration of her life is planned for 1:30 PM Sunday, February 21, 2016 at the Page-Theus Funeral Home, Leesburg, Florida. Memorial Contributions may be made to Cornerstone Hospice - 2445 Lane Park Road, Tavares, FL 32778.
